Philip Marino

Philip Marino serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Philadelphia Division, where he manages critical acquisitions for industrial control systems and mission-critical shipboard infrastructure. His role centers on executing contract actions for advanced engineering solutions that support the sustainment and modernization of U.S. Navy surface platforms, particularly in propulsion, ballast, and damage control systems. Marino specializes in complex, technical procurements requiring rigorous performance validation and integration with naval combat systems, ensuring alignment with Navy operational readiness goals. He routinely handles sole-source and competitive acquisitions under the NAICS 332911 category, focusing on high-reliability components and engineered valve systems essential to vessel safety and functionality. Marino maintains established working relationships with industry leaders such as Fairbanks Morse, LLC, Leidos, Inc., Rolls-Royce Corporation, G.S.E. Dynamics, Inc., and Kampi Components Co Inc. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with deep domain expertise in marine propulsion, industrial automation, and naval-grade fluid control systems. His contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, technical compliance, and performance-based outcomes, often leveraging existing contracts and government-wide acquisition vehicles to streamline procurement cycles for mission-essential hardware. Marino’s procurement activity shows a 100% preference for non-set-aside contracts, indicating a focus on technical capability and system interoperability over socioeconomic classifications. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in his portfolio, the nature of his acquisitions often involves specialized manufacturers—some of which are small businesses—selected based on unique technical qualifications and proprietary engineering solutions. His primary industry focus is NAICS 332911, Industrial Valve Manufacturing, with acquisitions centered on high-pressure, corrosion-resistant, and remotely operated valves used in shipboard fluid systems. Marino’s expertise lies in procuring mission-critical components that meet stringent naval specifications, including MIL-SPEC and IEEE standards, ensuring reliability under extreme operational conditions aboard surface combatants and support vessels.
