Abigail McCourt

Abigail McCourt serves as a primary contracting professional at Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren Division (NSWC Dahlgren), where she plays a central role in executing technical acquisitions that support the Navy’s advanced warfare systems. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle management of engineering services contracts, ensuring alignment with the agency’s mission to develop and evaluate integrated combat systems—including electronic warfare, signal processing, command and control platforms, and embedded computing technologies. She specializes in procuring high-precision engineering solutions that enable next-generation naval superiority, working closely with technical stakeholders to define requirements and ensure contractual compliance with DoD acquisition regulations. McCourt maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including TEX-TECH ENGINEERED COMPOSITES, LLC, TATITLEK GOVERNMENT SERVICES, INC., 3DB LABS INC, WASTE REMOVAL USA, LLC, and BOWHEAD PROGRAM MANAGEMENT & OPERATIONS, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven expertise in defense-grade engineering, systems integration, and specialized technical support services. Her procurement approach emphasizes reliability, technical capability, and performance history, often favoring contractors with prior experience in naval environments and complex system development. McCourt’s portfolio is entirely classified under No Set-Aside, indicating a focus on open competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. This reflects the technical specificity and mission-critical nature of the work, where capability and readiness take precedence over socioeconomic criteria in award decisions. Her procurement activity is exclusively aligned with NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), underscoring a deep specialization in research, development, test, and evaluation of advanced military systems. She routinely acquires services related to radar signal analysis, electronic combat systems, embedded software development, and secure communications architecture—domains critical to enhancing the Navy’s surface warfare and networked combat capabilities.
