James C. Doerr

James Doerr serves as a Contract Specialist at Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren Division (NSWC Dahlgren), where he plays a critical role in executing complex procurements to support the Department of the Navy’s mission in advancing integrated warfighting systems. He manages the acquisition lifecycle for advanced electronic warfare, command and control, and embedded computing technologies, ensuring timely delivery of mission-critical capabilities for surface ships and networked combat environments. His portfolio primarily involves technical services, specialized hardware, and software solutions that enhance sensor systems, signal processing, and communications networks, aligning closely with NSWC Dahlgren’s RDT&E objectives. Doerr maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including TEX-TECH ENGINEERED COMPOSITES, LLC, TATITLEK GOVERNMENT SERVICES, INC., 3DB LABS INC, WASTE REMOVAL USA, LLC, and BOWHEAD PROGRAM MANAGEMENT & OPERATIONS, LLC. These partnerships reflect a focus on high-performance materials, systems integration, IT services, and logistics support. His procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and technical diligence, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in compliance, innovation, and mission alignment. Doerr’s contracting activity shows a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of his acquisitions conducted without set-aside designations such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. This reflects a strategic emphasis on technical capability and mission readiness over socioeconomic preferences, though he remains compliant with all federal small business policies and actively evaluates small business participation where technically justified. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 511210 (Software Publishers), reflecting extensive acquisition of custom software, modeling and simulation tools, and embedded firmware. He also regularly procures computer and peripheral equipment (NAICS 423430) and ordnance-related components (NAICS 332994), demonstrating deep expertise in naval electronics, signal processing systems, and mission-specific hardware integration.
