Anthony C Gaglione

Anthony C. Gaglione serves as a Contract Specialist at Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC) Division Newport, where he plays a critical role in executing complex acquisitions that support the Department of the Navy’s mission to advance maritime warfare capabilities. He specializes in engineering services contracts for the development, testing, and evaluation of advanced naval sensor systems, electronic warfare components, and integrated communication architectures essential for undersea, surface, and aerial domain superiority. His procurement activities are strategically aligned with NUWC’s R&D priorities, ensuring timely delivery of technically sophisticated solutions that enhance naval operational effectiveness. Gaglione maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of industry partners, including Science Applications International Corporation, Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, Astronics Test Systems Inc, Serco Inc, and Mikel Inc. These vendors are frequently engaged for their deep expertise in systems engineering, test and evaluation, and mission-critical electronics integration. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical rigor, and long-term collaboration with contractors who demonstrate proven capability in delivering high-assurance maritime technologies under stringent naval standards. Gaglione’s procurement portfolio reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of his acquisitions conducted without socioeconomic set-asides. This reflects a mission-driven focus on accessing the broadest possible pool of technical expertise rather than prioritizing socioeconomic categories, aligning with NUWC’s need for specialized, high-performance solutions that demand advanced engineering capabilities. His primary procurement focus is on NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), encompassing systems engineering, signal processing, sensor integration, and electronic systems testing. He routinely procures services related to sonar array development, navigation system calibration, electronic countermeasures, and underwater communication networks, demonstrating deep domain expertise in naval electronic systems and mission-critical test infrastructure.
