Sheena Sellers supports the procurement mission of the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard Gf under the Department of the Navy, managing acquisitions critical to sustaining the operational readiness of U.S. Navy submarines and surface vessels. She oversees contracts for industrial maintenance, specialized equipment leasing, and workforce development services, ensuring compliance with naval engineering standards and defense supply chain integrity. Her role centers on facilitating timely, mission-critical support for shipyard fabrication, mechanical system repairs, and logistics operations, with a focus on high-integrity components and precision industrial services.

Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established defense industrial base partners with proven capabilities in naval environments, emphasizing reliability, regulatory compliance, and long-term service performance.

She also regularly procures equipment leasing under NAICS 532490 and professional training services under NAICS 611430 to enhance workforce competency.
