Morgan B. Myrick

Morgan B. Myrick serves as a Contract Specialist at the Mid-Atlantic Regional Maintenance Center under the Department of the Navy, where they play a pivotal role in securing critical shipbuilding and repair capabilities essential to fleet readiness. Responsible for the full lifecycle acquisition of complex naval platforms and infrastructure components, Myrick manages competitive procurements under FAR and DFARS guidelines, with a focus on ensuring technical compliance, schedule adherence, and industrial base sustainability. Their acquisitions primarily support the maintenance, modernization, and structural integrity of naval surface vessels, encompassing shipyard-level repairs, mechanical subsystems, and specialized metal fabrication. Myrick maintains established working relationships with key industrial partners including Fairlead Boatworks, Inc., General Dynamics Information Technology, Inc., Howard W. Pence, Inc., and Kampi Components Co., Inc., reflecting a preference for experienced, qualified vendors with proven track records in naval maintenance and precision manufacturing. These partnerships are characterized by consistent recompetition and long-term performance reliability, with a focus on vendors possessing specialized expertise in naval-grade fabrication, system integration, and shore-based infrastructure support. While the majority of acquisitions—84.6%—are conducted without set-asides, Myrick demonstrates a deliberate commitment to small business participation, with 15.4% of awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a balanced approach that prioritizes mission-critical capability while actively fostering competition among qualified small businesses, though no specific socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB dominate the portfolio. The primary NAICS focus is 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), accounting for nearly 77% of procurements, underscoring deep technical expertise in naval vessel sustainment. Additional categories include 337215 for custom marine storage systems and 541990 for specialized technical services, indicating a broad yet focused acquisition portfolio centered on shipyard industrial support and precision engineering solutions.
