Courtney Knight

Courtney Knight serves as a Contract Specialist within the Commander (M00264) under the Department of the Navy, responsible for managing the full lifecycle of mission-critical technology acquisitions. She plays a pivotal role in executing contracts that sustain and modernize naval warfighting capabilities, with a focus on command and control systems, tactical computing environments, and cyber-enabled decision support tools. Her portfolio primarily consists of professional and technical services supporting systems engineering, software integration, and operational readiness initiatives. Knight ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurement actions with the agency’s strategic priorities in advanced sensor networks, secure communications, and armored vehicle modernization. Knight 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. These vendors are frequently engaged for specialized technical services in systems integration, data analytics, and mission support solutions. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and long-term vendor partnerships built on technical expertise and reliability, rather than volume-driven procurement. She collaborates closely with technical stakeholders to ensure contractor deliverables meet stringent operational requirements. Knight’s procurement activity is exclusively categorized under “No Set-Aside,” indicating a focus on open competition based on technical merit and capability rather than socioeconomic preferences. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her contracting decisions reflect a rigorous evaluation of vendor qualifications, past performance, and domain-specific experience in defense-critical domains. Her primary NAICS code focus is 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), reflecting a deep specialization in non-standard IT services supporting naval operational systems. She procures advanced software development, cybersecurity analytics, real-time data fusion, and mission-critical systems engineering services—ensuring the Navy’s tactical computing infrastructure remains resilient, adaptive, and interoperable across joint environments.
