Zoe Roberts

Zoe Roberts serves as a key procurement professional at NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center Puget Sound, supporting the operational readiness of U.S. Navy surface and submarine fleets through the acquisition of mission-critical marine engineering systems and industrial maintenance services. Responsible for managing complex contract actions under the Department of Defense’s naval supply chain, she specializes in procuring precision-fabricated hardware, mechanical subsystems, and shipboard repair solutions that ensure vessel integrity and long-term sustainability. Her work directly enables fleet sustainment by securing high-reliability components and technical services essential to naval operations, often coordinating across engineering, logistics, and maintenance stakeholders to align acquisitions with operational requirements. Roberts maintains consistent working relationships with leading industrial contractors including TIMKEN Gears & Services Inc., Curtiss-Wright Electro-Mechanical Corp, Bellingham Marine Industries, Palfinger Marine USA, and Jered LLC. These partnerships reflect a focus on specialized manufacturers and service providers capable of delivering ruggedized, Navy-certified equipment for propulsion systems, electro-mechanical controls, marine lifting devices, and vessel repair. Her procurement approach emphasizes technical compliance, quality assurance, and long-term supportability, fostering collaborative vendor relationships built on performance reliability and adherence to military specifications. Her contracting patterns show a strong preference for open competition, with 90.9% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions, indicating a focus on technical capability over socioeconomic categorization. While small business participation remains limited at 9.1%, primarily through Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, her portfolio reflects a pragmatic balance between mission-critical performance and broad market access. Roberts’ primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 333998 (miscellaneous machinery), 811310 (industrial machinery repair), and 336611 (shipbuilding and repair), underscoring deep expertise in marine engineering systems, heavy equipment maintenance, and vessel modernization. She routinely acquires custom-fabricated components, HVAC systems for naval environments, and specialized industrial repair services, demonstrating technical fluency in naval architecture and shipboard systems integration.
