Samonica Crider

Samonica Crider supports the procurement mission of Navsup Fleet Logistics Center Jacksonville by managing complex acquisitions that sustain U.S. Navy operational readiness across logistics, communications, and facility support domains. While her formal title is not specified, her contracting activities center on securing mission-enabling services that maintain shipboard systems, optimize supply chain operations, and ensure crew welfare through reliable infrastructure and technical support. She handles a diverse portfolio of service-based contracts under FAR Part 12 and Part 37, with a strong emphasis on performance-based acquisition methods and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) mechanisms to ensure agile, responsive support to fleet operations. Crider maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including Stronghold SOF Solutions LLC, Gemini Tech Services LLC, Emerald Isle Federal Services, LLC, First Division Consulting Inc., and Curtiss-Wright Electro-Mechanical Corp. These partnerships reflect a preference for specialized firms delivering logistics consulting, telecommunications infrastructure, and electro-mechanical system support. Her contracting patterns indicate a reliance on established vendors with proven expertise in naval environments, often leveraging long-term contract vehicles to ensure continuity of critical services. Her procurement strategy demonstrates a robust commitment to small business participation, with over half of her awards set aside for total small businesses, and significant allocations to women-owned and service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. This reflects a deliberate alignment with Department of the Navy socioeconomic goals and a structured approach to fostering competitive, diverse supplier networks under FAR 19.5. Crider’s primary NAICS focus lies in logistics and process consulting (541614), wired telecommunications (517111), and other computer-related services (541519), underscoring her technical expertise in optimizing fleet support through data-driven logistics, secure communications networks, and integrated IT systems. She also procures facility services including lodging and transit solutions, reflecting the broad, multi-domain nature of naval sustainment operations.
