Sherri Reese

Sherri Reese serves as a key procurement lead at the Mid-Atlantic Regional Maintenance Center, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to sustain and modernize naval surface platforms through industrial-grade maintenance and infrastructure support. She manages a specialized portfolio of acquisitions focused on structural metal systems, precision fabricated components, and shipboard integration hardware critical to vessel integrity and operational readiness. Her work directly enables the lifecycle sustainment of naval assets by ensuring timely delivery of mission-critical parts, coordinating with industrial partners to meet stringent naval specifications and quality assurance standards. Reese maintains consistent contracting relationships with established industrial suppliers including Fairlead Boatworks, Inc., General Dynamics Information Technology, Inc., Howard W. Pence, Inc., and Kampi Components Co., Inc., all of whom provide specialized fabrication, metalworking, and mechanical subsystems tailored to naval environments. Her procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, technical compliance, and performance reliability, fostering partnerships with firms proven in naval-grade manufacturing and repair capabilities. She exhibits a steadfast commitment to small business participation, directing 100% of her eligible acquisitions toward total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, ensuring equitable access for qualified small manufacturers. This pattern reflects a deliberate strategy to cultivate a resilient domestic industrial base capable of supporting naval readiness through localized, agile production capacity. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 332321 (Metal Window and Door Manufacturing) and 332322 (Sheet Metal Work Manufacturing), where she acquires custom-fabricated structural components, corrosion-resistant enclosures, ventilation systems, and modular metal assemblies used in shipboard and shore-based infrastructure. Her expertise centers on the technical requirements of naval environments, including saltwater resistance, vibration tolerance, and compliance with MIL-SPEC standards for durability and safety.
