Stephanie Larabee

Stephanie Larabee serves as a key procurement lead within the Commanding General’s office under the Department of the Navy, where she manages critical acquisitions to sustain operational readiness for naval and marine forces. Her responsibilities center on securing specialized maintenance, logistics, and mission-enabling support services essential to combat systems, mobility assets, and expeditionary infrastructure. She routinely handles complex contracts for industrial equipment repair, precision instrumentation, and mission-critical machinery, ensuring compliance with defense readiness standards and technical specifications for garrison and forward-deployed environments. Her work directly supports the agency’s strategic imperative to maintain equipment reliability across dynamic operational theaters. Larabee maintains consistent contracting relationships with a core group of specialized vendors, including MANCON LLC, GEMINI TECH SERVICES LLC, CHEMBLE SOLUTIONS, LLC, MICROTECHNOLOGIES LLC, and SAELIG COMPANY, INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for niche providers with deep expertise in industrial maintenance, instrumentation, and electro-mechanical systems. Her procurement approach emphasizes technical proficiency and proven performance, often leveraging long-standing vendor relationships to ensure rapid response and mission-critical support under tight timelines. Her contracting patterns demonstrate a strong commitment to small business participation, with over half of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to cultivate capability among small, technically specialized firms, particularly those with niche expertise in industrial equipment repair and precision manufacturing. While no-set-aside contracts remain prevalent, the consistent use of small business set-asides underscores her alignment with DoD socioeconomic objectives. Larabee’s procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS categories related to industrial machinery and measurement systems, particularly 334310 (audio/video equipment), 811310 (commercial/industrial machinery repair), and 333914 (pumping equipment manufacturing). She routinely procures specialized components such as calibration instruments, industrial pumps, cutting tools, and maintenance kits critical to sustaining combat-ready platforms. Her domain expertise lies in the integration of ruggedized, field-deployable systems requiring strict adherence to military specifications and environmental durability standards.
