Roger N. Gwyn

Roger N. Gwyn serves as a key procurement professional within the Mid Atlantic Regional Maintenance Center, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to sustain and modernize naval surface platforms. He manages acquisitions for critical shipbuilding components, structural metal systems, and mechanical subsystems essential to fleet readiness, with a focus on engineering services, ship repair, and industrial infrastructure support. His portfolio includes complex contracts requiring technical oversight of fabrication, integration, and maintenance of vessel-critical systems, ensuring compliance with naval specifications and lifecycle readiness standards. Gwyn maintains strategic relationships with core contractors including Fairlead Boatworks, Inc., General Dynamics Information Technology, Inc., Howard W. Pence, Inc., and Kampi Components Co., Inc., who provide specialized shipyard services, engineering design, and precision manufacturing. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established industrial partners with proven naval experience, while maintaining open engagement with smaller vendors capable of delivering niche components and technical support. These partnerships are characterized by long-term collaboration, performance-based evaluations, and consistent recompetition to ensure quality and innovation. His procurement approach prioritizes broad market access, with 68.8% of acquisitions conducted without set-asides, yet he actively supports small business participation through Total Small Business Set-Asides (25.0%) and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business Set-Asides (6.3%). This balanced strategy ensures competitive bidding while fulfilling statutory obligations to promote socioeconomic diversity in the defense industrial base. Gwyn’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services) and 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), reflecting deep expertise in naval platform sustainment. He regularly procures structural metal systems, motor and generator assemblies, and specialized mechanical subsystems, requiring rigorous adherence to military specifications and naval engineering standards. His technical domain centers on the integration of industrial maintenance capabilities with modern shipyard workflows to extend vessel service life and operational availability.
