Emily Rummell

Emily Rummell serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC) Systems and Experimental Warfare Center, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to advance maritime operational readiness through cutting-edge engineering and scientific innovation. She manages a portfolio of technical acquisitions focused on software development, data analytics, and specialized research services critical to experimental warfare systems, ocean infrastructure, and explosive effects modeling. Her work ensures the timely delivery of mission-critical technologies that enhance naval capabilities in contested environments, aligning procurement strategy with the Center’s R&D priorities and operational timelines. Rummell maintains sustained relationships with a select group of high-specialization contractors, including Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution for oceanographic sensing and telemetry systems, Emerging Compounds Treatment Technologies, Inc. for environmental remediation solutions, and Boh Environmental, L.L.C. for technical environmental services. She also collaborates regularly with Sociedad Española de Montajes Industriales SA for advanced industrial systems integration and the Foundation for Marine Ecology and Telemetry Research for ecological data platforms. These partnerships reflect a preference for niche, science-driven vendors with proven expertise in maritime and defense-related technical domains. Rummell’s contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on technical merit and mission suitability over socioeconomic preferences, prioritizing capability and domain expertise in a highly specialized acquisition environment where few vendors possess the required qualifications. Her procurement focus is heavily concentrated in NAICS 513210 (Software Publishers), accounting for 75% of activity, with a strong emphasis on custom maritime software, simulation platforms, and data management systems. The remaining 25% falls under NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), encompassing systems integration, modeling and simulation, and analytical support services. Her expertise lies in acquiring advanced computational tools and scientific software critical to experimental warfare, oceanographic research, and naval installation resilience.
