Benjamin Quint

Benjamin Quint serves as a key procurement lead within the Commander (M00264) under the Department of the Navy, overseeing acquisitions critical to sustaining and modernizing naval warfighting systems. His responsibilities center on securing mission-critical ordnance, small arms, and associated accessories that directly support operational readiness and tactical superiority. He manages the full lifecycle of contract actions—from requirements validation and source selection to award and performance oversight—ensuring alignment with naval modernization priorities in command and control, sensor integration, and armored vehicle systems. His acquisitions are tightly focused on delivering robust, cyber-enabled platforms that enhance battlefield decision-making and force protection. Quint maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of specialized contractors including GOLDBELT HAWK L.L.C., ALEX-ALTERNATIVE EXPERTS, LLC, TNDA TECHNOLOGIES INC., BC MARKET SOLUTIONS LLC, and BIOSPACE, INC. These partners provide niche expertise in ordnance manufacturing, tactical system integration, and mission-critical support services. His procurement approach emphasizes technical precision and proven capability, favoring vendors with demonstrated experience in defense-grade manufacturing and compliance with military specifications. Relationships are characterized by long-term engagement and performance-based contract execution, with a focus on reliability and rapid fielding of hardened systems. Quint’s contracting portfolio reflects a strict preference for full and open competition, with 100% of awards issued under no set-aside classifications. This indicates a deliberate focus on technical merit and capability over socioeconomic categorization, prioritizing mission need above programmatic diversity goals. While small business participation is not formally incentivized through set-asides, the nature of the procurements often naturally engages small, specialized defense manufacturers with niche expertise. His primary procurement focus is firmly anchored in NAICS 332994—Small Arms, Ordnance, and Ordnance Accessories Manufacturing. He consistently acquires precision munitions, armored vehicle components, and integrated weapon systems designed for naval expeditionary and shipboard use. His domain expertise lies in high-reliability, combat-hardened hardware that meets stringent DoD standards for durability, safety, and interoperability across complex tactical environments.
