Jonathan Pagnucco

CDR Jonathan Pagnucco serves as a key procurement leader within Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), where he oversees the acquisition of mission-critical naval vessels and integrated ship systems. Responsible for executing complex contract actions under the N00024 agency code, he plays a central role in sustaining fleet readiness through the lifecycle management of surface and undersea platforms. His portfolio primarily encompasses shipbuilding, repair, and modernization efforts, with a focus on integrating advanced naval electronics, propulsion systems, and combat suite upgrades. Pagnucco’s work directly supports NAVSEA’s strategic imperative to maintain technological superiority and operational readiness across the U.S. Navy’s fleet. He maintains longstanding partnerships with major defense prime contractors including Huntington Ingalls Incorporated, Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, Damen Shipbuilding & Cooperation B.V., G.S.E. Dynamics, Inc., and Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC. These relationships are characterized by long-term, performance-based contract structures, often involving technical specifications for hull construction, system integration, and naval engineering services. His contracting approach emphasizes rigorous technical oversight, risk mitigation, and compliance with Navy-specific acquisition regulations. Pagnucco’s procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of awards issued without set-aside designations such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. While small business participation is not structurally mandated in his portfolio, all vendors are evaluated on technical merit, past performance, and industrial capacity, ensuring alignment with Navy’s operational requirements. His primary focus lies in NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), where he manages acquisitions for new construction, dry-docking, and mid-life upgrades of destroyers, frigates, and auxiliary vessels. His expertise spans naval architecture, marine systems integration, and defense industrial base sustainment, making him a pivotal figure in advancing the Navy’s next-generation surface and undersea warfare capabilities.
