Samuel Perrine

Samuel Perrine serves as a key contracting professional within the Director of Contracting office under the Department of the Navy, supporting the acquisition of mission-critical defense-enabling capabilities essential to operational readiness. He manages the procurement of specialized equipment and services that sustain maritime and expeditionary operations, with a focus on secure computing systems, command-and-control hardware, and leased heavy machinery. His work directly enables the modernization of communications infrastructure and logistical support for deployed naval forces, ensuring that procurement aligns with strategic defense priorities. Perrine routinely handles complex acquisitions under FAR Part 13 and Part 14 procedures, often involving technical specifications for defense-grade audiovisual and leasing arrangements. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, Perrine maintains a broad network of vendor partnerships spanning manufacturing, equipment leasing, and defense services sectors. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and lifecycle cost analysis, fostering long-term relationships with firms capable of delivering certified, secure, and mission-ready solutions. He frequently engages with vendors possessing ITAR and DFARS compliance, ensuring adherence to national security requirements throughout the acquisition lifecycle. Perrine demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 58.3% of his awards structured as small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. He consistently prioritizes small business participation, particularly through general small business set-asides, reflecting a deliberate strategy to broaden the defense industrial base. His contracting patterns align with Department of the Navy goals to increase resilience through diversified supplier networks, though no specific HUBZone, 8(a), or SDVOSB preferences are dominant in his portfolio. His primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 532412, reflecting heavy reliance on the rental and leasing of construction, mining, and forestry machinery—often adapted for expeditionary military use. Secondary emphasis is placed on NAICS 332994 for ordnance accessories and related manufacturing, with minor activity in postal and educational services, likely supporting base infrastructure and training. Perrine’s technical expertise lies in procuring ruggedized, field-deployable equipment and leased assets that meet stringent military environmental and operational standards.
