Olivia Litsey

Olivia Litsey serves as a key procurement professional at the Southwest Regional Maintenance Center (N55236), supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to sustain and modernize naval vessel readiness through industrial and maintenance contracting. She manages a portfolio of acquisitions focused on ship repair infrastructure, industrial equipment, and specialized maintenance services critical to fleet operational availability. Her work ensures the timely delivery of mission-critical capabilities by coordinating complex contracting actions across engineering, fabrication, and facility support domains, aligning with the Center’s strategic priorities in naval engineering and shipyard modernization. Litsey maintains consistent working relationships with core contractors including W. V. Construction Company, Turn Key Scaffolding LLC, Premier Scaffolding, Inc., Fairbanks Morse, LLC, and The Sherwin-Williams Company. These partnerships reflect a reliance on established vendors with proven expertise in industrial construction, marine scaffolding systems, propulsion and auxiliary equipment, and protective coating applications. Her contracting approach prioritizes reliability, technical compliance, and performance history, favoring long-term vendor engagement over frequent solicitation cycles to ensure continuity in high-stakes maintenance operations. All of Litsey’s acquisitions are awarded under open competition with no set-asides, indicating a procurement strategy focused on technical capability and operational urgency rather than socioeconomic preferences. While small business participation is not formally incentivized through 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her portfolio demonstrates a pragmatic emphasis on vendor competency and mission-critical delivery timelines. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 611699 (All Other Miscellaneous Schools and Instruction), which reflects the agency’s use of specialized industrial training and technical instruction contracts to certify workforce proficiency in naval maintenance systems. Complementing this is a significant emphasis on NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), underscoring her deep expertise in procuring shipyard services, structural repairs, and marine industrial infrastructure essential to fleet sustainment.
