Morris M Staton

Morris M. Staton serves as a Contract Specialist at the Naval Supply Systems Command Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk (NAVSUP FLC Norfolk), where he plays a critical role in executing procurements that sustain the operational readiness of the U.S. Navy. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of acquisition actions, Staton specializes in securing engineering, logistics, and maintenance services essential to fleet sustainment. His work supports mission-critical infrastructure, technical repair capabilities, and communications systems, ensuring naval platforms remain mission-ready. He routinely handles complex service and supply contracts under FAR Part 12 and Part 13 procedures, balancing speed, compliance, and strategic sourcing to meet urgent operational demands. Staton maintains consistent working relationships with a diverse set of contractors, including OBSIDIAN GLOBAL, LLC, Deloitte & Touche LLP, and Computational Physics Inc., reflecting a blend of large-capacity service providers and specialized technical firms. His procurement patterns indicate a preference for partners with deep domain expertise in naval systems support, logistics optimization, and advanced engineering consulting. These vendor relationships are characterized by repeat engagements, performance-based contracting, and a focus on long-term sustainment outcomes rather than transactional purchases. His contracting approach reflects a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with approximately half of his acquisitions set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5, while the remainder remain open to all competitors. This dual strategy ensures competitive pricing and innovation while actively fostering participation from small, veteran-owned, and disadvantaged firms. Though no specific set-aside programs dominate his portfolio, his consistent use of total small business set-asides signals a deliberate effort to broaden vendor diversity and strengthen the defense industrial base. Staton’s primary NAICS focus areas include Boat Dealers (441222) and Other Miscellaneous Durable Goods Merchant Wholesalers (423990), indicating significant procurement of maritime equipment and spare parts. He also regularly acquires technical consulting services (541690) and prefabricated metal components (332311), demonstrating expertise in naval platform maintenance, logistics supply chains, and specialized infrastructure support. His technical domain spans naval vessel sustainment, logistics distribution networks, and mission-critical component procurement.
