Demi DeGarmo

Demi DeGarmo serves as a key procurement lead within the Commanding Officer’s office (N63394) under the Department of the Navy, responsible for managing acquisitions that sustain and modernize naval aviation and electronic warfare systems. Focused on mission-critical capabilities, DeGarmo oversees the procurement of aerospace components, advanced electronic assemblies, sensor technologies, and cybersecurity-enabled communications infrastructure to ensure operational readiness across naval aircraft platforms. Their portfolio includes engineering services, specialized manufacturing, and technical training contracts essential to maintaining the Navy’s technological edge in contested environments. DeGarmo maintains strategic relationships with leading defense contractors including Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC and Lockheed Martin Corporation, partnering with industry leaders to deliver high-reliability systems for mission-critical applications. These partnerships are characterized by long-term collaboration on complex, low-volume, high-precision procurements requiring stringent compliance with military specifications and defense acquisition regulations. While major primes dominate high-value efforts, DeGarmo actively cultivates a diversified supplier base to support innovation and supply chain resilience. A pronounced commitment to small business participation defines DeGarmo’s contracting approach, with over 60% of awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. HUBZone set-asides and other socioeconomic programs are consistently leveraged to foster regional economic development and expand access for underserved vendors. This pattern reflects a deliberate strategy to integrate agile, niche suppliers into the defense industrial base while ensuring compliance with statutory small business goals. DeGarmo’s procurement focus centers on NAICS codes related to other computer-related services, precision measuring and controlling device manufacturing, and professional training for defense systems. Their portfolio emphasizes embedded systems, avionics integration, cutting tool manufacturing, and technical workforce development—domains critical to sustaining next-generation naval aviation and electronic warfare platforms. Expertise lies in acquiring specialized hardware and services that support sensor fusion, signal processing, and secure data architectures across deployed naval assets.
