Shannon Rolince

Shannon Rolince serves as a key procurement professional within Mschq Norfolk, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to sustain the operational readiness of U.S. Navy surface and auxiliary vessels. Responsible for managing complex logistics and maintenance acquisitions, Rolince oversees contracts critical to ship repair, deep-sea freight transport, and mission-critical marine equipment procurement. Their work directly enables fleet sustainment by ensuring timely access to specialized maritime services and technical support, aligning acquisitions with naval operational tempo and readiness requirements. Rolince routinely handles performance-based service contracts under FAR Part 37, emphasizing outcome-driven deliverables and lifecycle support. Rolince maintains consistent relationships with a select group of strategic vendors, including EXXONMOBIL MARINE LIMITED for marine fuel and logistics support, VIGOR MARINE LLC for shipyard services and vessel maintenance, and BOOZ ALLEN HAMILTON INC for advanced logistics consulting. Partnerships with ONTIC ENGINEERING & MANUFACTURING, INC and FOREIGN POLICY RESEARCH INSTITUTE INC reflect a dual focus on technical marine component procurement and strategic maritime policy analysis. These relationships are characterized by long-term contract performance, technical collaboration, and adherence to Navy-specific compliance standards, indicating a preference for proven, mission-aligned contractors with demonstrated naval experience. Rolince’s procurement portfolio is predominantly open competition, with 80% of awards issued without set-aside designations, reflecting a focus on broad market competition for high-complexity services. However, a consistent 20% of awards are structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to expanding small business participation in naval logistics and maintenance markets without compromising mission-critical capabilities. The primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 811310, encompassing commercial and industrial machinery repair and maintenance for naval vessels, including propulsion systems, deck machinery, and auxiliary equipment. A secondary emphasis on NAICS 541614 reflects expertise in procuring logistics and process optimization consulting services to enhance supply chain efficiency. Rolince’s technical domain expertise centers on maritime industrial maintenance, fleet sustainment logistics, and marine engineering support services critical to naval operational continuity.
