Brian L Toth

Brian L. Toth serves as a Contract Specialist at NAVSEA’s Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC) Division Newport, where he plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions to advance naval warfare capabilities. He manages the full lifecycle of contracts for advanced maritime systems, with a focus on sensor technologies, electronic warfare components, and integrated communication systems essential for undersea, surface, and aerial domain superiority. His expertise spans complex technical procurements requiring rigorous compliance with Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) and Navy-specific acquisition policies, ensuring timely delivery of cutting-edge capabilities to the fleet. Toth maintains consistent working relationships with key industry partners including Science Applications International Corporation, Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, Astronics Test Systems Inc, Serco Inc, and Mikel Inc. These contractors provide specialized engineering, test equipment, and systems integration services aligned with NUWC’s RDT&E mission. His procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, technical alignment, and performance-based contracting to support sustained innovation in naval electronics and test infrastructure. A significant portion of Toth’s portfolio—40%—is set aside for total small business participation under FAR 19.5, reflecting a strong commitment to expanding small business engagement in high-technology naval programs. While no socioeconomic set-asides (8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB) dominate his awards, his consistent use of small business set-asides demonstrates active support for agile, innovative vendors capable of meeting stringent technical requirements. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334111 (Electronic Computer Manufacturing), where he acquires embedded systems, signal processors, and sensor hardware; supplemented by NAICS 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services) and 541519 (Other Computer Related Services) for software-defined radio, firmware, and data fusion algorithms. His technical domain expertise centers on naval electronics, test and evaluation systems, and mission-critical software integration for undersea warfare platforms.
