Stephanie Jewell

Stephanie Jewell serves as a key procurement lead within Mschq Norfolk, operating under the Department of the Navy, where she manages acquisitions critical to sustaining the operational readiness of U.S. Navy surface and auxiliary vessels. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle procurement of ship repair services, marine equipment, and mission-critical logistics solutions, ensuring fleet assets remain deployable and combat-ready. She specializes in complex contracting actions under FAR Part 13 and Part 15, frequently handling competitive sealed bids and negotiated procurements for technical marine systems and industrial support services. Her work directly supports the agency’s core mission of maintaining naval fleet sustainability through timely, compliant, and efficient acquisition execution. Jewell maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of prime contractors, including EXXONMOBIL MARINE LIMITED for marine fuel and logistics support, VIGOR MARINE LLC for shipyard maintenance and repair services, BOOZ ALLEN HAMILTON INC for systems engineering and technical assistance, and ONTIC ENGINEERING & MANUFACTURING, INC for specialized marine components. She also engages FOREIGN POLICY RESEARCH INSTITUTE INC for strategic maritime analysis and operational planning support. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established, vetted vendors with proven maritime industry expertise, often leveraging long-term IDIQ and basic ordering agreements to streamline recurring requirements. Her procurement portfolio is evenly split between open competition and Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a balanced commitment to both broad market access and socioeconomic inclusion. While no specific set-aside programs like 8(a) or HUBZone dominate her portfolio, she consistently structures solicitations to encourage small business participation, ensuring competitive fairness and fostering vendor diversity within the naval support ecosystem. Her primary technical focus lies in NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), accounting for 60% of her acquisitions, followed by 333914 for pumping and fluid handling equipment and 333618 for auxiliary engine systems. She routinely procures shipboard repair kits, marine propulsion components, and electronic subsystems under NAICS 334419, reflecting deep expertise in naval engineering and maritime logistics domains.
