Brittany N. Dyess serves as a key procurement professional within the Commander (M00264) under the Department of the Navy, supporting the modernization of naval warfighting systems through strategic acquisition of mission-critical technologies. She manages contracts focused on enhancing command and control architectures, tactical computing environments, and sensor-to-shooter integration, ensuring operational readiness across maritime domains. Her acquisitions primarily involve advanced telecommunications, electronic instrumentation, and armored vehicle systems, aligning with the agency’s priority to deploy cyber-enabled, real-time decision support capabilities in contested environments. Dyess maintains consistent working relationships with a core 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 partnerships reflect a preference for firms with deep expertise in defense-grade satellite communications, systems engineering, and electronic warfare support services. Her contracting approach emphasizes technical proficiency, rapid prototyping, and agile delivery, often engaging vendors with proven experience in naval integration and secure data architectures. Her procurement strategy reflects a strong emphasis on open competition, with 78.6% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions, while maintaining a meaningful 21.4% commitment to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This balance ensures access to innovative capabilities from niche providers while preserving flexibility for mission-critical requirements. Though not focused on 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs specifically, her portfolio consistently supports small businesses with relevant technical credentials in defense electronics and communications. Dyess’s primary NAICS focus areas include satellite telecommunications (517410), other telecommunications (517919), and motor and generator manufacturing (335312), with additional emphasis on precision instrument manufacturing for electrical signal detection (334515) and navigation systems (334511). Her acquisitions center on ruggedized electronics, secure comms hardware, and embedded sensor systems designed for naval platforms, demonstrating deep technical fluency in electronic warfare, tactical networking, and maritime survivability systems.
