Tiffany Gallon

Tiffany Gallon serves as a key procurement professional within Mschq Norfolk, operating under the Department of the Navy, where she manages critical acquisitions to sustain the operational readiness of U.S. Navy surface and auxiliary vessels. Her responsibilities center on securing maritime logistics, ship repair, and deep-sea freight transportation services essential to fleet deployment cycles. She handles complex contract actions under FAR and DFARS frameworks, ensuring compliance with naval readiness standards while coordinating with technical stakeholders to align procurement outcomes with mission-critical operational requirements. Her portfolio is heavily weighted toward industrial and transportation services that directly support naval fleet sustainment. Gallon maintains strategic relationships with a select group of high-capacity contractors, including ExxonMobil Marine Limited for marine fuel and logistics support, Vigor Marine LLC for ship repair and maintenance services, Booz Allen Hamilton Inc for operational analysis and systems integration, Ontic Engineering & Manufacturing, Inc for specialized marine equipment, and the Foreign Policy Research Institute for strategic maritime policy advisory services. These partnerships reflect a preference for established, mission-aligned vendors with proven capabilities in naval support environments, often involving long-term performance-based contracts requiring rigorous oversight and compliance. Her contracting patterns show a strong preference for full and open competition, with 95.2% of awards issued without set-asides, indicating a focus on capability over socioeconomic categorization. Only 4.8% of awards are designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a mission-first approach where technical expertise and operational reliability take precedence over socioeconomic preferences. Her procurement focus is overwhelmingly concentrated in NAICS 483111 (Deep Sea Freight Transportation), accounting for over 92% of activity, with additional support for commercial machinery repair (NAICS 811310) and textile bag manufacturing (NAICS 314910). This underscores her domain expertise in maritime supply chain logistics and industrial maintenance services critical to naval vessel sustainment.
