Susan Temple

Susan L. Temple serves as a Contract Specialist at the Naval Supply Systems Command Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk (NAVSUP FLC Norfolk), where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical procurement actions to sustain U.S. Navy operational readiness. She manages the full lifecycle of complex acquisitions for engineering, logistics, and maintenance services essential to fleet sustainment, including technical support for navigation systems, electronic components, and specialized infrastructure. Her work directly supports the agency’s strategic imperative to maintain maritime superiority through reliable, technically sophisticated procurement solutions that align with Navy readiness goals. Temple maintains established working relationships with a diverse set of contractors, including OBSIDIAN GLOBAL, LLC for logistics and technical services, DELOITTE & TOUCHE LLP for enterprise-level advisory support, and ADVANIA ISLAND EHF. for specialized supply chain solutions. She also routinely engages with niche technical vendors such as COMPLETE PARACHUTE SOLUTIONS, INC. and Computational Physics Inc. for mission-specific hardware and simulation systems. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, clear statement of work development, and long-term vendor collaboration to ensure technical compliance and mission continuity. Notably, Temple’s procurement portfolio reflects a 100% non-set-aside profile, indicating a consistent focus on full and open competition. While she does not prioritize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her acquisitions are driven by technical necessity and vendor capability rather than socioeconomic criteria, ensuring the highest standards of mission-critical performance. Her primary NAICS focus areas include 531120 for nonresidential facility leasing, 334511 for aerospace and naval guidance systems, 334419 for electronic components, and 326220 for rubber and plastic hose manufacturing. These reflect deep technical expertise in procuring specialized infrastructure, avionics, and mission-critical materials that directly support naval platform sustainment and maritime operational systems.
