Demi DeGarmo

Demi DeGarmo serves as a key procurement lead within the Commanding Officer’s office (N63394) of the Department of the Navy, responsible for managing acquisitions that sustain and modernize naval aviation and electronic warfare systems. Their portfolio centers on mission-critical aerospace components, advanced electronic assembly systems, and cybersecurity-enabled communications infrastructure, ensuring operational readiness across carrier-based and expeditionary platforms. DeGarmo oversees the full lifecycle of contracting actions—from market research and solicitation to award and performance monitoring—focusing on high-integrity technical solutions that meet rigorous military specifications and compliance standards. DeGarmo maintains strategic relationships with prime contractors including Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, and Lockheed Martin Corporation, leveraging their expertise in sensor integration, avionics modernization, and secure data link systems. These partnerships are characterized by long-term collaboration on complex, low-volume, high-precision procurements requiring specialized engineering validation and defense-grade quality assurance. The contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and technical risk mitigation, often involving technical interchange meetings and prototype evaluations prior to full-scale award. A strong commitment to socioeconomic diversity defines DeGarmo’s contracting strategy, with 75% of opportunities set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5 and 25% specifically designated for Women-Owned Small Businesses. This pattern reflects a deliberate effort to expand the defense industrial base by integrating agile, niche suppliers capable of delivering customized electronic and training solutions. The office consistently prioritizes small business participation as a force multiplier for innovation and supply chain resilience. Primary procurement activities align with NAICS 611430 (Professional and Management Development Training) and 334515 (Instrument Manufacturing for Measuring and Testing Electricity and Electrical Signals), indicating deep expertise in technical workforce development and precision electronic test instrumentation. DeGarmo’s acquisitions support the training of naval technicians in advanced avionics diagnostics and the procurement of calibrated test equipment essential for maintaining the integrity of radar, EW, and communication systems aboard naval platforms.
