Tracy Trickett

Tracy Trickett serves as a key procurement professional within Mschq Norfolk, a critical logistics and sustainment unit of the Department of the Navy, responsible for ensuring the operational readiness of U.S. Navy surface and auxiliary vessels. She manages the acquisition of mission-critical maritime services, primarily focused on deep-sea freight transportation and specialized marine logistics support. Her role is central to maintaining the Navy’s global fleet mobility by securing reliable, high-capacity oceanic transport solutions and associated marine infrastructure services. Trickett oversees the full lifecycle of contract actions—from requirements development through award and performance monitoring—ensuring alignment with naval operational timelines and strategic deployment objectives. Her primary contractor relationships include ExxonMobil Marine Limited, Vigor Marine LLC, Booz Allen Hamilton Inc., and Ontic Engineering & Manufacturing, Inc., reflecting a preference for established industry leaders with proven capabilities in naval logistics, vessel maintenance, and defense-grade marine engineering. She maintains consistent, long-term partnerships with vendors possessing specialized expertise in deep-sea cargo operations, shipyard support, and defense-compliant manufacturing. These relationships are characterized by performance-based contracting, strict compliance with naval technical specifications, and a focus on mission-critical delivery reliability. Trickett’s procurement portfolio reflects no set-aside preferences, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This indicates a prioritization of capability, capacity, and operational readiness over socioeconomic targeting, aligning with the urgent and specialized nature of naval sustainment requirements. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in her acquisitions, all procurements adhere strictly to federal acquisition regulations and competitive fairness standards. Her domain expertise is singularly focused on NAICS 483111—Deep Sea Freight Transportation—where she procures heavy-lift oceanic shipping, roll-on/roll-off vessel services, and maritime logistics coordination essential for global fleet sustainment. She specializes in contracting for complex, high-volume cargo movements requiring specialized vessels, port interoperability, and compliance with DoD transportation security protocols.
