Geremy Harper, Contracting Specialist

Geremy Harper serves as a Contracting Specialist within the Naval Special Warfare Command, where he plays a critical role in acquiring mission-critical equipment and services that support elite maritime special operations forces. He manages a diverse portfolio of procurements aligned with the Command’s strategic priorities in unconventional warfare, including tactical gear, maritime mobility systems, and precision equipment maintenance. His acquisitions directly enable operational readiness by ensuring forces are equipped with advanced, field-tested solutions tailored for high-risk, low-visibility missions. Harper works closely with technical and logistics teams to translate operational requirements into compliant, performance-based contract statements of work under FAR and DFARS guidelines. Harper maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of specialized vendors, including Trofholz Technologies, Inc., Pass Christian Yacht Works, LLC, and Teamworks Tactical Solutions Inc., all of which provide niche capabilities in tactical equipment fabrication, vessel modification, and mission-specific system integration. His contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in technical expertise and proven performance in austere environments. He frequently engages with small, agile contractors capable of rapid prototyping and customization, ensuring responsiveness to evolving operational needs without compromising quality or security standards. His procurement portfolio reflects a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with approximately half of his actions set aside for total small business participation under FAR 19.5. While no specific set-asides like 8(a) or SDVOSB dominate his awards, his consistent use of small business set-asides demonstrates a deliberate effort to foster innovation and capacity within the defense industrial base. He prioritizes vendors with demonstrated agility, technical certification, and experience in military-grade applications. Harper’s primary NAICS focus areas—339920 (Sporting and Athletic Goods Manufacturing), 314999 (Miscellaneous Textile Product Mills), and 811210 (Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance)—reflect his specialization in procuring durable tactical apparel, mission-specific textile systems, and repair services for advanced electronics used in maritime and land-based special operations. His domain expertise lies at the intersection of ruggedized equipment lifecycle management and specialized manufacturing for high-stress operational environments.
