Nicole Fiorentino

Nicole Fiorentino serves as a key procurement professional within the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard IMF, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to sustain fleet readiness through industrial maintenance and shipyard infrastructure support. She manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on mission-critical equipment, industrial services, and specialized maintenance solutions essential to naval vessel lifecycle management. Her work spans contract execution for repair, calibration, rental, and technical support services that directly enable shipyard operational continuity and compliance with naval engineering standards. She routinely handles complex procurements requiring technical specificity, regulatory adherence, and coordination with naval engineering and logistics teams. Fiorentino maintains consistent partnerships with a core group of industrial vendors including Lake Union Drydock Co., Sunbelt Rentals, Inc., Flukey Electronics Corp., Pauley Rodine Inc., and Motive Power Marine, LLC. These relationships reflect a preference for established providers with proven capabilities in marine industrial equipment, precision instrumentation, and heavy machinery maintenance. Her contracting patterns emphasize reliability, technical expertise, and rapid response capabilities, particularly for time-sensitive maintenance and calibration needs critical to shipyard throughput and safety compliance. Her procurement strategy prioritizes open competition, with approximately two-thirds of awards issued under no set-aside, while maintaining a strong commitment to small business participation through Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This balanced approach ensures access to specialized capabilities while actively fostering competition among qualified small vendors, aligning with Department of the Navy socioeconomic goals without compromising mission-critical performance standards. Her primary NAICS focus areas include Other Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Rental and Leasing, Instruments for Industrial Process Control, and Commercial and Industrial Machinery Repair and Maintenance. She routinely procures calibrated test equipment, specialized lifting and material handling systems, hazardous waste collection services, and industrial repair solutions—demonstrating deep technical familiarity with naval shipyard operational environments and the precision instrumentation required to sustain them.
