Alfred Wooten

Alfred Wooten serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Indian Head Division, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to advance ordnance systems and precision instrumentation for naval warfare. He manages complex acquisitions centered on the design, testing, and sustainment of explosive ordnance, detection systems, and specialized control instrumentation. His work directly enables the modernization of naval munitions capabilities, ensuring reliability and safety across the lifecycle of critical weapon systems. Wooten typically handles sole-source and competitive contracts requiring high-level technical expertise in aerospace and defense electronics, often involving classified or controlled environments. He maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of specialized contractors, including TOTAL CONCEPTS OF DESIGN INC, Boh Environmental, L.L.C., CHUCKING MACHINE PRODUCTS, INC., CANADIAN COMMERCIAL CORP, and DEVAL LIFE CYCLE SUPPORT LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven capabilities in precision machining, environmental compliance for hazardous materials, and lifecycle support for ordnance systems. His contracting approach emphasizes technical fidelity, supply chain integrity, and long-term sustainment over short-term cost savings, fostering stable, mission-critical vendor collaborations. Wooten’s procurement portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on technical superiority and mission readiness over socioeconomic preferences, prioritizing vendor capability and system compatibility above small business targeting. While he does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, his acquisitions remain compliant with all federal contracting regulations and emphasize performance-based outcomes. His primary focus lies within NAICS 334511, encompassing the manufacture of search, detection, navigation, and guidance systems. He procures advanced ordnance handling instrumentation, explosive detection sensors, and precision guidance components critical to naval weapons systems. His domain expertise centers on electro-mechanical systems integration, hazardous material handling protocols, and ruggedized electronics for military environments.
