Nancy Purvis

Nancy Purvis serves as a Contracting Specialist at Naval Computer and Telecommunications Area Master Station Atlantic (NCTAMS Lant), where she plays a pivotal role in securing mission-critical communications and infrastructure services for the Department of the Navy. Her acquisitions support the modernization and sustainment of secure voice, data, and network systems essential to command and control operations across the Atlantic theater. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts spanning telecommunications maintenance, electrical installation, and industrial equipment repair, ensuring alignment with DoD cybersecurity standards and operational resilience requirements. Her work directly enables the agency’s mission to deliver reliable, interoperable communications for naval forces. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, Purvis cultivates strategic partnerships with a broad spectrum of vendors, including small businesses and specialized technical service providers with expertise in military-grade communications systems. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, delivery order management under indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles, and compliance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) standards for technical rigor and accountability. She frequently collaborates with contractors possessing ITAR and CMMC compliance credentials to safeguard classified and controlled unclassified information. Purvis demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with over 68% of her awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate strategy to foster competition among small firms. She also actively supports service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, with nearly 2.5% of her portfolio reserved for SDVOSBs, consistent with DoN goals for inclusive contracting. Her pattern of set-asides underscores a deliberate effort to expand the defense industrial base and enhance vendor diversity. Her primary NAICS focus includes commercial and industrial machinery repair (811310), electrical contracting (238210), and automotive maintenance (811111), indicating a reliance on specialized technicians for maintaining legacy and hybrid communication infrastructure. She procures services related to network hardware servicing, facility wiring, and mission-critical equipment upkeep, demonstrating technical expertise in sustaining physical and electromagnetic infrastructure vital to naval operations.
