Paul Pepi

Paul Pepi, serving as the primary contracting lead at Naval Supply Systems Command Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk (NAVSUP FLC Norfolk), oversees the acquisition of mission-critical technical and logistics services essential to U.S. Navy fleet sustainment. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurements under N00189, he ensures alignment with DoD strategic priorities by securing specialized engineering, maintenance, and information technology solutions that support naval platform readiness and maritime operational superiority. His portfolio centers on complex, performance-based contracts requiring deep technical expertise and rapid response capabilities, particularly in digital systems and command, control, and communications infrastructure. Pepi maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of high-capability contractors, including Obsidian Global, LLC; Deloitte & Touche LLP; Advania Island Ehf.; Complete Parachute Solutions, Inc.; and Computational Physics Inc. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven experience in defense-grade systems integration, cyber-enabled logistics, and advanced computational modeling. His contracting approach emphasizes long-term collaboration with vendors capable of delivering scalable, secure, and mission-tailored solutions under strict DoD compliance standards. A defining feature of Pepi’s procurement strategy is his exclusive use of Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides, reflecting a steadfast commitment to socioeconomic goals and veteran-owned enterprise development. Every acquisition he manages is structured to prioritize SDVOSB eligibility, reinforcing NAVSUP FLC Norfolk’s mandate to empower qualified veteran-led firms while ensuring mission-critical capabilities remain robust and responsive. His technical focus is narrowly concentrated on NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), encompassing software development, systems analysis, data analytics, and IT infrastructure modernization tailored to naval operations. He procures advanced computing services, algorithmic modeling tools, and secure communications platforms that directly enhance fleet maintenance workflows, predictive logistics, and real-time decision support systems.
