Tina M. Jaurequi

Tina M. Jaurequi serves as a key procurement professional at Norfolk Naval Shipyard Gf, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to maintain and modernize critical naval vessels through industrial and engineering services. She manages complex acquisition programs focused on ship repair, machinery overhaul, and water systems infrastructure, ensuring compliance with naval engineering standards and lifecycle readiness requirements. Her work directly enables the sustainment of the fleet by facilitating timely, technically rigorous contracts that uphold operational readiness and regulatory compliance across shipyard facilities. Jaurequi maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized contractors, including G I INDUSTRIAL-MARINE, LLC, OWL INTERNATIONAL INC., AMEE BAY, LLC, ORBIS SIBRO INC, and MID ATLANTIC ENGINEERING TECHNICAL SERVICES, INC. These vendors provide niche expertise in marine industrial services, naval machinery restoration, and integrated water supply systems, reflecting a preference for established, technically capable firms with proven track records in defense-grade shipyard environments. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical validation, and long-term vendor reliability over competitive bidding alone. Her procurement portfolio reflects a strict focus on open competition, with 100% of awards issued under no set-aside classifications. This underscores a prioritization of technical capability and mission-critical delivery over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with the shipyard’s operational urgency and specialized requirements. While small business participation is not formally incentivized through set-asides, she evaluates all offers based on technical merit, past performance, and readiness to meet stringent naval maintenance standards. Jaurequi’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 221310 (Water Supply and Irrigation Systems), accounting for two-thirds of her portfolio, and NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), which drives the remainder. She regularly acquires services related to seawater systems, ballast and bilge infrastructure, propulsion component refurbishment, and dry-dock engineering support, demonstrating deep domain expertise in naval industrial maintenance and critical system sustainment.
