Tarik A. Booze

Tarik A. Booze serves as a Contract Specialist at Norfolk Naval Shipyard Gf, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to maintain and modernize critical U.S. Navy vessels through precision industrial and engineering services. In this role, he manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for maintenance, repair, and operational readiness contracts, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and naval standards. His portfolio includes complex acquisitions for machinery, technical services, and specialized industrial support, often requiring coordination with engineering and logistics teams to align contract requirements with fleet sustainment objectives. Mr. Booze maintains strong working relationships with key contractors including G I INDUSTRIAL-MARINE, LLC, OWL INTERNATIONAL INC., AMEE BAY, LLC, ORBIS SIBRO INC, and MID ATLANTIC ENGINEERING TECHNICAL SERVICES, INC. These partnerships reflect a focus on vendors capable of delivering high-integrity marine industrial services, equipment leasing, and technical support under stringent naval specifications. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous technical evaluation, and long-term vendor collaboration to ensure mission-critical readiness. His procurement strategy reflects a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with equal portions of contracts set aside for small businesses and no set-asides, alongside a dedicated 20% allocation for Women-Owned Small Businesses. This pattern underscores a deliberate effort to broaden vendor participation while maintaining flexibility for mission-essential requirements that may not be suited for set-aside mechanisms. Mr. Booze’s primary acquisition focus centers on NAICS 532490 (Other Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Rental and Leasing) and NAICS 611699 (All Other Miscellaneous Schools and Instruction), indicating a strong demand for specialized equipment leasing and technical training services. A secondary focus on NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing) confirms his direct involvement in core shipyard maintenance activities. His expertise lies in procuring industrial equipment, technical instruction, and repair services critical to sustaining naval fleet integrity through compliant, performance-driven contracting.
