Carl V. Bradshaw

Carl V. Bradshaw serves as a Contracting Officer for the Commander (M00264) under the Department of the Navy, where he is responsible for managing mission-critical acquisitions that sustain and modernize naval warfighting capabilities. His portfolio centers on integrated technology systems, tactical computing environments, and armored vehicle platforms essential to operational readiness. Bradshaw executes full lifecycle contracting actions—from solicitation through award and administration—ensuring compliance with FAR and DoD acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with the agency’s strategic priorities in command and control, cyber-enabled decision support, and advanced sensor systems. He maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including Goldbelt Hawk L.L.C., Alex-Alternative Experts, LLC, Tnda Technologies Inc., BC Market Solutions LLC, and Biospace, Inc., each providing specialized engineering, maintenance, and technical support services. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven expertise in defense systems integration, particularly those capable of delivering rapid prototyping, field maintenance, and cybersecurity-enhanced solutions tailored to naval operational needs. Bradshaw’s set-aside preferences show a strong emphasis on open competition, with 73.3% of awards issued without set-aside, while 26.7% are reserved for total small business participation under FAR 19.5. This balance indicates a focus on capability-driven sourcing, with small business engagement prioritized when technical requirements align with small business competencies, without compromising mission-critical performance standards. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336992 (Military Armored Vehicle Manufacturing) and 811111 (General Automotive Repair), reflecting deep involvement in vehicle sustainment and tactical mobility systems. He also regularly procures engineering services (541330) and specialized computer-related services (541519), demonstrating expertise in systems engineering, field support, and digital infrastructure modernization for naval platforms.
