Nancy Fernandez

Nancy Fernandez serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Philadelphia Division, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to sustain and modernize surface ship systems. She manages complex acquisitions for mission-critical engineering and industrial infrastructure, including propulsion systems, damage control equipment, ballast systems, and shipboard industrial control networks. Her work directly enables operational readiness by ensuring the timely delivery of technically sophisticated hardware and maintenance services essential to naval platform lifecycle support. She handles full-spectrum contract actions—from requirements definition through award and administration—focusing on high-reliability, defense-grade components and integrated system upgrades. Fernandez maintains longstanding relationships with leading defense contractors including Fairbanks Morse, LLC, Leidos, Inc., Rolls-Royce Corporation, G.S.E. Dynamics, Inc., and Kampi Components Co Inc. These partnerships center on the procurement of turbine generator systems, mechanical propulsion components, and specialized shipboard maintenance services. Her contracting approach emphasizes technical compliance, performance-based outcomes, and long-term sustainment planning, fostering collaborative vendor engagement to meet rigorous naval engineering standards and lifecycle support requirements. Fernandez’s procurement portfolio reflects a strict preference for full and open competition, with 100% of awards issued without set-asides. This indicates a focus on mission-critical capabilities where technical specificity, scale, and performance reliability take precedence over socioeconomic targeting. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her award patterns, her contracting strategy ensures competitive rigor and vendor diversity through open market solicitation. Her primary NAICS focus lies in Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Repair and Maintenance (811310) and Turbine and Turbine Generator Set Units Manufacturing (333611), underscoring deep expertise in mechanical systems sustainment and power generation for naval platforms. She routinely procures heavy-duty industrial equipment, auxiliary power units, and integrated control systems critical to shipboard resilience and operational endurance.
