Terri L Buonfigli

Terri Buonfigli supports the procurement mission of the Military Sealift Fleet Support Command Norfolk by managing acquisitions critical to sustaining the U.S. Navy’s non-combatant maritime fleet. Responsible for overseeing contract execution in engineering, maintenance, and industrial support services, she ensures the operational readiness of government-owned vessels through timely procurement of specialized shipboard systems. Her work directly enables the repair, modernization, and lifecycle management of propulsion, marine HVAC, navigation instrumentation, and crane systems, aligning with the command’s mandate to maintain a reliable and resilient logistics fleet. She typically handles complex service and equipment contracts requiring technical oversight and compliance with Department of Defense acquisition regulations. Buonfigli collaborates with a diverse range of contractors, including industrial maintenance providers, marine engineering firms, and specialized equipment manufacturers. While specific vendor names are not publicly identified, her contracting patterns reflect consistent engagement with firms possessing niche expertise in naval vessel systems, particularly those certified for government marine infrastructure support. Her working relationships emphasize technical capability, past performance, and adherence to military specifications, fostering partnerships that ensure mission-critical readiness across the fleet’s operational lifecycle. Her procurement strategy demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with nearly half of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate preference for leveraging small business capabilities in mechanical repair, marine support, and specialized equipment manufacturing, without heavy reliance on other socioeconomic categories such as 8(a) or HUBZone. Her approach supports broad-based small business development while maintaining focus on technical proficiency and mission alignment. Buonfigli’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS categories related to commercial and industrial machinery repair (811310), marine support activities (488390), and HVAC and refrigeration equipment manufacturing (333415), with notable activity in other engine equipment (333618) and crane system manufacturing (333923). She consistently acquires services and components essential to vessel sustainment, including propulsion system overhauls, marine environmental control units, and overhead lifting systems, demonstrating deep domain expertise in naval industrial maintenance and maritime logistics support.
