Anthony Gellene

Anthony Gellene 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 explosive technologies. He manages complex acquisitions for the design, testing, and sustainment of non-small arms ammunition and precision ordnance handling systems, ensuring alignment with naval warfare modernization priorities. His portfolio emphasizes engineering services, manufacturing process development, and specialized testing equipment critical to weapon system reliability and lifecycle support. Gellene’s work directly enables the transition of experimental munitions technologies into operational readiness through rigorous contracting practices grounded in defense acquisition regulations. Gellene 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 focus on niche technical capabilities in ordnance manufacturing, environmental compliance for explosive facilities, precision machining, and long-term sustainment support. His contracting approach prioritizes deep technical expertise over broad commercial vendors, fostering long-term collaborations with firms possessing validated experience in high-hazard environments and Department of Defense-specific compliance frameworks. Gellene’s procurement activity is entirely classified under No Set-Aside, indicating a primary emphasis on technical capability and mission-critical performance over socioeconomic preferences. While small business participation is not formally incentivized through set-asides, his contracting decisions remain compliant with all federal acquisition regulations and may include small businesses as subcontractors within larger prime awards when technically justified. His procurement focus is exclusively centered on NAICS 332993—Ammunition (except Small Arms) Manufacturing—reflecting deep expertise in high-explosive formulation, propellant systems, detonation control mechanisms, and munitions production line modernization. He consistently acquires specialized equipment, process engineering services, and test instrumentation tailored to the unique demands of naval ordnance development and safe handling protocols.
