David Greaves

David Greaves serves as a key procurement lead within the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Indian Head Division, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to advance ordnance systems, explosives, and precision instrumentation for naval warfare. He manages a portfolio of technical acquisitions focused on the development, testing, and sustainment of munitions manufacturing capabilities, explosive handling systems, and specialized measurement instrumentation. His work ensures the reliability and modernization of critical naval ordnance through contract strategies aligned with DoD acquisition regulations and lifecycle support requirements. Greaves maintains consistent relationships with a select group of specialized contractors, including TOTAL CONCEPTS OF DESIGN INC, Boh Environmental, L.L.C., CHUCKING MACHINE PRODUCTS, INC., CANADIAN COMMERCIAL CORP, and DEVAL LIFE CYCLE SUPPORT LLC. These partnerships reflect a focus on niche engineering, environmental compliance, precision machining, and lifecycle support services essential to ordnance systems. His contracting approach emphasizes technical proficiency, regulatory adherence, and long-term vendor collaboration over transactional procurement, fostering reliable supply chains for mission-critical defense technologies. His procurement patterns show a strong preference for open competition, with 98% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions, indicating a focus on technical capability over socioeconomic categorization. While small business participation is limited to approximately 2%, it is strategically aligned with qualified firms capable of meeting stringent ordnance manufacturing and safety standards, rather than broad socioeconomic targets. Greaves’ primary NAICS focus includes explosives manufacturing (325920), small arms and ordnance accessories manufacturing (332994), and instrument manufacturing for electrical testing (334515), reflecting deep expertise in defense-specific production and calibration systems. He also procures professional training services (611430) and specialized software development (511210) to support workforce readiness and digital integration in ordnance operations, underscoring a technical domain rooted in explosives safety, precision engineering, and naval weapon system sustainment.
