Debra H. Martin supports the procurement mission of the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren Division (NSWC Dahlgren), managing acquisitions critical to advancing naval electronic warfare, command and control, and embedded computing systems. She facilitates the acquisition of research and development services, specialized computer hardware, and mission-critical sensor technologies that enable integrated warfighting capabilities for surface fleets. Her work ensures timely delivery of next-generation naval systems through compliant, performance-based contracting practices aligned with Department of the Navy strategic priorities. Martin maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of technical contractors, including TEX-TECH ENGINEERED COMPOSITES, LLC for advanced materials integration, TATITLEK GOVERNMENT SERVICES, INC. for systems engineering support, and 3DB LABS INC for additive manufacturing solutions. She also engages WASTE REMOVAL USA, LLC for environmental compliance services and BOWHEAD PROGRAM MANAGEMENT & OPERATIONS, LLC for mission-critical program execution. Her contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in technical proficiency, past performance, and reliability in delivering complex defense-related capabilities. Her procurement portfolio reflects a balanced approach to socioeconomic goals, with approximately one-third of awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to expanding opportunities for small businesses in high-technology domains. While the majority of contracts remain open to all competitors, she actively prioritizes small business participation where technical requirements permit, reinforcing NSWC Dahlgren’s mission to foster innovation across the defense industrial base. Martin’s primary focus areas include NAICS 541712 for R&D in physical and engineering sciences, and NAICS 334111 and 334112 for electronic computer and storage device manufacturing. She routinely procures embedded systems, signal processing hardware, secure computing platforms, and specialized sensor assemblies that form the backbone of modern naval combat systems, reflecting deep expertise in defense electronics and mission-critical infrastructure.
