Christopher C. Hainsworth

Christopher C. Hainsworth serves as a procurement specialist within the Naval Surface Warfare Center, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to modernize surface ship sensor, communications, and electronic warfare systems. He manages technical acquisitions focused on precision instrumentation, signal processing, and electronic system sustainment, ensuring fleet readiness through timely contract execution. His role centers on translating operational requirements into compliant procurement actions, with a strong emphasis on technical fidelity and mission-critical delivery timelines for naval platforms. Hainsworth maintains consistent contracting relationships with a select group of specialized vendors, including ISPA TECHNOLOGY LLC, FIVE RIVERS ANALYTICS, LLC, BAUER COMPRESSORS, INC., and COUNTERTRADE PRODUCTS, INC. These partnerships reflect a focus on niche engineering services, ruggedized hardware, and mission-specific electronic components. His contracting patterns indicate a preference for established contractors with proven expertise in defense-grade systems, often leveraging firm-fixed-price and cost-reimbursement mechanisms to manage technical risk and performance outcomes. Notably, Hainsworth’s portfolio exhibits a 100% preference for non-set-aside contracts, indicating a focus on open competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. This reflects a procurement strategy prioritizing technical capability and mission urgency over socioeconomic objectives, consistent with the high-stakes nature of naval electronic system acquisitions. His primary NAICS classification is 561622 (Locksmiths), which appears to be a misclassification or administrative artifact, as the actual procurement activity aligns with advanced electronic systems, sensor integration, and ruggedized instrumentation—not physical security services. This discrepancy suggests a need for NAICS code correction, but his technical domain expertise clearly resides in naval electronic warfare, sonar/radar sustainment, and maritime signal processing systems.
