Patricia A Madison

Patricia A. Madison serves as a Contract Specialist within the Military Sealift Fleet Support Command Norfolk (N40442), where she plays a pivotal role in securing critical maintenance, repair, and modernization services for the U.S. Navy’s non-combatant fleet. Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of acquisitions for complex maritime systems, including propulsion, marine HVAC, navigation instrumentation, and vessel repair infrastructure. She ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with the agency’s mission to sustain operational readiness through industrial and engineering support. Her work directly enables the longevity and reliability of government-owned ships essential to global maritime logistics. Madison cultivates partnerships with a diverse range of vendors specializing in marine engineering, industrial equipment, and technical services. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with firms capable of delivering specialized shipyard services, mechanical power transmission components, and naval-grade instrumentation. Her contracting approach emphasizes technical capability, past performance, and compliance with defense standards, fostering long-term relationships with qualified contractors who meet stringent maritime operational requirements. Her procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 72.7% of awards issued without set-aside designations. However, she actively supports small business participation, allocating 27.3% of contracts to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to expanding opportunities for qualified small firms across the maritime industrial base. Madison’s primary procurement focus lies within NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing) and 333613 (Mechanical Power Transmission Equipment Manufacturing), with additional emphasis on engineering services (541330) and industrial machinery wholesaling (423830). She routinely acquires specialized components for shipboard propulsion systems, motor and generator assemblies (335312), and integrated marine support systems, requiring deep technical understanding of naval engineering standards and maritime logistics requirements.
