Graham M Conlon

Graham M. Conlon serves as a secondary contracting professional within the Naval Surface Warfare Center, supporting the acquisition of advanced electronic, communications, and instrumentation systems critical to surface ship readiness and undersea dominance. Though not a primary contracting officer, he plays a vital role in facilitating the procurement of specialized technical solutions that enhance situational awareness, signal processing, and sensor integration across maritime platforms. His work aligns with the Center’s mission to modernize sonar, radar, and electronic warfare systems, typically handling complex, high-technology acquisitions requiring deep technical coordination and compliance with Department of the Navy procurement protocols. Conlon routinely collaborates with a core group of specialized contractors including CYNERGY PROFESSIONAL SYSTEMS LLC, AEROSPACE & COMMERCIAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLC, and SCIENCE APPLICATIONS INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION, among others. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven expertise in electronic systems integration, communications infrastructure, and technical support services. His procurement patterns indicate a reliance on established vendors with demonstrated capability in defense-grade engineering and system sustainment, often involving long-term service agreements and performance-based contract structures. His contracting portfolio exhibits a strong preference for open competition, with 80% of acquisitions conducted without set-aside restrictions. The remaining 20% are structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a measured but consistent commitment to small business participation without prioritizing specific socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. Conlon’s primary NAICS focus areas include wireless telecommunications carriers, instrument manufacturing for electrical signal testing, and professional training services, underscoring his technical specialization in sensor calibration, signal analysis equipment, and workforce development for naval electronics systems. He routinely procures precision instrumentation, field service support, and training solutions that maintain fleet-level competency in next-generation maritime electronic architectures.
