Eric Dockendorf

Mr. Eric Dockendorf serves as a key procurement professional at Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division (N00164), where he manages acquisitions critical to the development, testing, and sustainment of advanced electronic, electro-optical, and ordnance systems for naval warfare platforms. His responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of contracting for mission-critical technologies, including signal processing instrumentation, radar and electronic warfare systems, and specialized defense components. Dockendorf’s portfolio supports the Navy’s strategic modernization goals by ensuring timely delivery of high-integrity systems for surface and expeditionary forces, with a focus on technical rigor and mission readiness. He maintains consistent contracting relationships with leading defense contractors including Lockheed Martin Corporation, Programs Management Analytics & Technologies Inc., and Black Hills Ammunition Inc., partnering with firms capable of delivering complex electro-optical sensors, precision munitions, and integrated signal intelligence solutions. His procurement approach favors established industry leaders with proven technical capabilities in defense-grade engineering and manufacturing, often leveraging indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) and cost-reimbursement contract vehicles to accommodate evolving operational requirements. Dockendorf’s contracting activity shows no preference for socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a mission-driven emphasis on technical capability over socioeconomic criteria, aligning with the high-stakes, time-sensitive nature of naval warfare system acquisitions. While small business participation is not formally prioritized, vendors must still meet stringent performance and quality standards regardless of size. His primary NAICS focus areas include Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing (334511), as well as Other Electronic Component Manufacturing (334419) and Instrument Manufacturing for Measuring and Testing Electricity and Electrical Signals (334515). He routinely procures precision electronic systems, signal processing hardware, and specialized engineering services to support electronic warfare, radar, and ordnance modernization initiatives across the Navy’s tactical fleet.
