Anthony Duran

Anthony Duran serves as the primary contracting representative for the Commanding Officer (N63394) under the Department of the Navy, overseeing the acquisition of mission-critical aerospace components, electronic warfare systems, and advanced engineering services essential to naval aviation readiness. He manages the full lifecycle of procurement activities—from requirements validation and solicitation development to contract award and performance oversight—ensuring alignment with the Navy’s strategic imperatives in modernizing aircraft platforms and securing cyber-enabled communications infrastructures. His portfolio centers on complex, high-integrity systems requiring stringent technical compliance and supply chain resilience. Duran maintains a consistent contracting relationship with Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, and Lockheed Martin Corporation, both of which provide specialized electronic assemblies, sensor integration, and mission systems support. These partnerships reflect a preference for established defense prime contractors with proven capabilities in classified aerospace environments and DoD-compliant manufacturing standards. His contracting patterns emphasize long-term technical collaboration over transactional procurement, prioritizing vendors with demonstrated expertise in naval aviation sustainment and rapid prototyping of electronic warfare countermeasures. Duran’s procurement activity reflects a 100% non-set-aside approach, with no utilization of 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides. This indicates a focus on mission-critical capabilities requiring specialized technical certifications and security clearances that are predominantly held by large, established defense contractors. While small business participation is not formally leveraged in his portfolio, this reflects the nature of the procurements rather than a policy preference, as the systems acquired demand advanced engineering rigor and defense-industrial base scale. His primary NAICS classification is 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), underscoring his specialization in procuring integrated systems for naval platforms, including avionics upgrades, radar and electronic countermeasure modules, and embedded communications hardware. His technical domain expertise lies in the integration of mission-critical avionics, secure data links, and ruggedized electronic assemblies designed for harsh maritime operational environments.
