Eric Dieges

Eric Dieges serves as a key procurement lead within Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSYSCOM), supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to sustain and modernize the U.S. Fleet through complex acquisition programs. He manages the full lifecycle procurement of mission-critical naval systems, including shipbuilding, repair, and integration of advanced nautical and aerospace electronics. His work directly enables fleet readiness by securing capabilities essential to undersea, surface, and expeditionary warfare platforms, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and naval technical standards. Dieges routinely oversees large-scale, multi-year contracts requiring rigorous technical evaluation and systems engineering oversight. He maintains strategic relationships with prime contractors including Damen Shipbuilding & Cooperation B.V., Huntington Ingalls Incorporated, Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, G.S.E. Dynamics, Inc., and Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC. These partnerships span ship construction, combat system integration, and specialized naval electronics, reflecting a preference for established industry leaders with proven maritime engineering capabilities. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical risk mitigation, and long-term sustainment planning, often coordinating across multiple program offices to align procurement with fleet modernization roadmaps. Dieges’ portfolio is predominantly open competition, with approximately 90% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions, reflecting the scale and complexity of naval acquisitions. However, he consistently incorporates small business participation through Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, ensuring opportunities for qualified firms in technical support and specialized subsystem supply. His socioeconomic contracting patterns prioritize capability over size, while still fostering innovation through small business engagement in non-core, high-value services. His procurement focus centers on NAICS 336612 (Boat Building) and 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), complemented by 334511 (Naval and Aeronautical Systems Manufacturing) and 541990 (Professional Technical Services). He procures integrated combat systems, propulsion components, sonar and navigation instrumentation, and lifecycle support services, demonstrating deep expertise in naval architecture, electronic warfare systems, and maritime platform integration.
