Sherry Jarvis

Sherry Jarvis serves as a key procurement professional within the Mid Atlantic Regional Maintenance Center, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to sustain and modernize naval surface platforms. She manages the acquisition of critical shipbuilding and repair components, including structural metal systems, mechanical subsystems, and industrial support services essential to fleet readiness. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of contract execution—from requirements definition and solicitation to award and performance oversight—ensuring compliance with naval engineering standards and defense acquisition regulations. Jarvis specializes in complex, technically demanding procurements that directly impact vessel integrity and operational capability, working closely with engineering and logistics teams to align contracting outcomes with maintenance and modernization priorities. Her primary contractor relationships include FAIRLEAD BOATWORKS, INC., GENERAL DYNAMICS INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY, INC., Howard W. Pence, Inc., and KAMPI COMPONENTS CO INC, all of which provide specialized ship repair, fabrication, and mechanical component supply services. Jarvis maintains long-standing, performance-driven partnerships with these vendors, leveraging their technical expertise in naval structural systems and industrial maintenance. These relationships are characterized by consistent recompetition and high levels of contract performance, reflecting a focus on reliability, quality assurance, and adherence to naval specifications. Jarvis’s procurement portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on technical capability and industrial capacity over socioeconomic preferences, prioritizing mission-critical outcomes and vendor performance over socioeconomic targeting. While small business participation is not formally incentivized through set-asides, her contracting approach remains transparent and competitive, ensuring access for all qualified vendors. Her domain expertise centers exclusively on NAICS 336611—Ship Building and Repairing—where she procures precision-engineered components, welding and fabrication services, hull modifications, and marine mechanical systems. Jarvis possesses deep technical familiarity with naval vessel architectures, corrosion control standards, and shipyard industrial processes, ensuring acquisitions align with the rigorous demands of naval surface platform sustainment.
