Ronald Lizotte

Ronald Lizotte serves as a Contract Specialist at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard Gf (N39040), a critical facility within the Department of the Navy responsible for sustaining the operational readiness of U.S. Navy submarines and surface vessels. In this role, he manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for industrial, technical, and logistical support services essential to naval vessel maintenance and modernization. His acquisitions focus on mission-critical infrastructure, specialized equipment leasing, and technical services that support shipyard operations, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and defense-specific standards. He plays a pivotal role in aligning contracting strategies with the shipyard’s priorities in precision fabrication, mechanical system integrity, and supply chain reliability. Lizotte maintains consistent contracting relationships with key industry partners including Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, United Rentals (North America), Inc., and Kardex Remstar, LLC, among others. These partnerships span heavy equipment leasing, industrial automation, and specialized maintenance services, reflecting a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in high-reliability, defense-qualified environments. His working relationships emphasize performance-based outcomes, long-term service agreements, and vendor accountability aligned with naval engineering standards. His procurement portfolio reflects a strong inclination toward open competition, with 69.7% of awards issued without set-asides, while maintaining a significant commitment to small business participation through Total Small Business Set-Asides (30.3%). Though not focused on 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB-specific programs, he consistently facilitates opportunities for small businesses capable of delivering specialized industrial and technical services. Lizotte’s primary NAICS focus is on 532490 (Other Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Rental and Leasing), reflecting heavy reliance on leased industrial equipment for shipyard operations. He also frequently procures services under 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), supporting digital maintenance systems and data integration. Additional activity includes procurement related to power transformer manufacturing and industrial logistics, demonstrating expertise in technical domains critical to naval vessel sustainment.
