Doloris Patterson

Doloris Patterson serves as a secondary procurement support professional within the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren Division (NSWC Dahlgren), contributing to the acquisition of critical technologies that advance naval warfare systems. While not the primary contracting officer, she plays a vital role in facilitating the execution of research, development, test, and evaluation contracts for electronic warfare, signal processing, embedded computing, and command and control platforms. Her work supports the agency’s mission to deliver integrated combat capabilities for surface ships and networked warfare environments, often coordinating requirements, vendor evaluations, and contract administration for technical and operational support services. Patterson maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including TEX-TECH ENGINEERED COMPOSITES, LLC, TATITLEK GOVERNMENT SERVICES, INC., 3DB LABS INC, WASTE REMOVAL USA, LLC, and BOWHEAD PROGRAM MANAGEMENT & OPERATIONS, LLC. These partnerships span advanced materials, facility operations, engineering support, and specialized logistics services. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for experienced vendors capable of delivering complex, mission-critical solutions under tight technical and schedule constraints, often involving cross-functional coordination between engineering, logistics, and program management teams. Her contracting activity shows a strong preference for open competition, with 66.7% of acquisitions conducted without set-aside designations, while 33.3% are competed under the 8(a) program. This balance indicates a strategic approach that prioritizes technical capability while actively fostering opportunities for small, disadvantaged businesses in niche technical domains. Patterson’s procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 561210 (Facilities Support Services), 335910 (Battery Manufacturing), 541330 (Engineering Services), and 561110 (Office Administrative Services). She routinely acquires specialized battery systems for naval platforms, engineering analysis for sensor integration, and facility maintenance services supporting high-security test ranges, reflecting deep alignment with NSWC Dahlgren’s technical and operational infrastructure needs.
