Tiffany Wulfsohn

Tiffany K. Wulfsohn serves as a key procurement professional within the Military Sealift Command, supporting the Department of Defense’s strategic sealift mission through the acquisition of critical maritime logistics and engineering services. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts essential to maintaining the readiness of government-owned and chartered vessels, including ship repair, navigational system integration, and afloat support services. Her work directly enables the operational mobility of U.S. naval forces by ensuring timely delivery of technical, logistical, and maintenance capabilities across global theaters. Wulfsohn typically handles complex, mission-critical acquisitions under FAR Part 13 and Part 15, often involving multi-year performance-based contracts with rigorous lifecycle support requirements. Her contractor relationships center on industrial partners with proven expertise in naval vessel maintenance, marine engineering, and defense-grade navigation systems. She routinely engages with shipyard contractors, specialized maritime engineering firms, and suppliers of naval instrumentation and chemical logistics products. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, Wulfsohn fosters long-term partnerships with vendors capable of delivering integrated, sustainment-focused solutions under strict military standards, emphasizing reliability, compliance, and rapid response capability. Wulfsohn demonstrates a strong preference for open competition, with approximately 86% of her acquisitions issued as unrestricted. However, she actively promotes small business participation, consistently allocating nearly 14% of her contract volume to small business set-asides, including a notable 3.5% dedicated to service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. Her contracting patterns reflect a deliberate effort to broaden vendor diversity while maintaining mission readiness through proven, capable small firms. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336611 (shipbuilding and repair), 541330 (engineering services), and 334511 (nautical system manufacturing), indicating deep technical expertise in maritime infrastructure, vessel modernization, and advanced marine instrumentation. She frequently procures integrated systems for shipboard navigation, hull maintenance, and specialized chemical logistics, reflecting a domain-specific understanding of naval operational requirements and defense acquisition frameworks.
