Brendan Heasley

Brendan Heasley supports the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Philadelphia Division, in executing critical procurement initiatives that sustain and modernize naval surface platforms. He manages acquisitions for advanced electronic systems, shipboard integration solutions, and mission-critical infrastructure—including propulsion, damage control, and industrial control systems—ensuring alignment with the Navy’s operational readiness goals. His work bridges engineering requirements with contractual execution, facilitating the delivery of high-reliability technologies across the fleet through full lifecycle contract management. Heasley maintains strong, recurring relationships with industry leaders such as FAIRBANKS MORSE, LLC, LEIDOS, INC., ROLLS-ROYCE CORPORATION, G. S. E. DYNAMICS, INC., and KAMPI COMPONENTS CO INC, partnering with firms possessing deep expertise in naval systems engineering, embedded computing, and ruggedized hardware design. These collaborations reflect a preference for established vendors with proven track records in defense-grade system integration, while also enabling agile responses to evolving technical demands through long-term contract vehicles and performance-based acquisitions. A consistent focus on socioeconomic contracting is evident in his portfolio, with 66.7% of awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster innovation and capacity within the small business industrial base, particularly among firms certified under HUBZone, SDVOSB, and WOSB programs. His approach ensures broad vendor participation while maintaining technical rigor and mission-critical performance standards. His procurement activity is heavily concentrated in NAICS 334112 (Computer Storage Device Manufacturing) and 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services), underscoring expertise in ruggedized data storage, real-time embedded systems, and mission-critical software integration for naval platforms. He specializes in acquiring hardened computing hardware, secure data acquisition systems, and customized control software tailored to the harsh maritime environment, demonstrating deep technical fluency in naval electronics and system-of-systems integration.
