Sylvia Perry

Sylvia Perry supports the procurement operations at Norfolk Naval Shipyard Gf, a critical facility within the Department of the Navy responsible for maintaining and modernizing the U.S. Navy’s fleet. In her capacity, she manages complex industrial and engineering contracts essential to sustaining naval vessel readiness, overseeing acquisitions in ship repair, mechanical systems overhaul, and environmental remediation. Her work directly enables mission-critical maintenance cycles, ensuring compliance with naval engineering standards and regulatory frameworks. She routinely handles solicitations under the Federal Acquisition Regulation for specialized fabrication, fluid power systems, and industrial remediation services, often requiring technical validation and Navy-specific certification. Perry maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including G I INDUSTRIAL-MARINE, LLC, OWL INTERNATIONAL INC., AMEE BAY, LLC, MID ATLANTIC ENGINEERING TECHNICAL SERVICES, INC., and MILLS MARINE & SHIP REPAIR LLC. These vendors are selected for their proven expertise in naval shipyard environments, particularly in machinery repair, boiler systems, and fabricated metal component fabrication. Her procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor reliability, technical proficiency, and adherence to Navy quality assurance protocols, fostering stable, performance-driven partnerships rather than transactional engagements. Her contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 91.7% of awards issued without set-aside designations. The remaining 8.3% are awarded under Total Small Business Set-Asides, indicating a measured but intentional commitment to small business participation without compromising mission-critical requirements. She does not routinely prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, instead focusing on capability and compliance as primary selection criteria. Perry’s primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 562910 (Remediation Services), reflecting the shipyard’s emphasis on environmental compliance and hazardous material management. She also regularly acquires specialized equipment under NAICS 332410 (Power Boiler and Heat Exchanger Manufacturing), 333414 (Heating Equipment Manufacturing), and 333996 (Fluid Power Pump and Motor Manufacturing), demonstrating deep technical familiarity with naval propulsion and auxiliary systems. Her expertise lies in procuring highly engineered, Navy-certified components that support vessel longevity and operational readiness.
