NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk’s Contracting Department obligated $2,339,124,091 in fiscal year 2021, wrapping up a year that saw them recognized as a 2021 Department of the Navy Acquisition Excellence Award winner.
According to Contracting Department Director Capt. Todd Wanack, his team of more than 250 contracting experts awarded nearly 9,000 contract actions during the fiscal year. Wanack, who has extensive experience in contracting with other Department of Defense entities says working with this group has been the high point of his career.
“They are a team that seems to be able to do it all and they do for almost everyone in the Navy,” he added. “While it is not easy and requires great skill and attention to detail, they make it look easy.”
He added that the team also provides unsurpassed customer service, due to what he described as a truly remarkable degree of professionalism every day.
“During FY-21 we received 844 surveys and we had a 99 percent mission satisfaction rate,” said Wanack.
The team supported a total of 477 mission partners this year. Highlights included providing lodging and sustenance for the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group and USS Iwo Jima Amphibious Ready Group’s restriction of movement (ROM) prior to their deployments and contract actions to facilitate distance learning and social distancing efforts at the United States Naval Academy.
Wanack summed up saying “We are very fortunate, since so much of our work directly and indirectly impacts the Sailors on the waterfront. Anytime we can positively affect those men and women it becomes the highlight of our day.”
