Jami L Taylor

Jami L. Taylor serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Undersea Warfare Center, supporting the acquisition of critical undersea warfare systems essential to the U.S. Navy’s technological dominance. Responsible for managing complex contracting actions, Taylor focuses on securing advanced electronic components, specialized sensor systems, and ruggedized computing platforms used in submarines and unmanned undersea vehicles. Their work directly enables the development, testing, and sustainment of sonar, navigation, and electronic warfare technologies, aligning closely with the agency’s mission to maintain undersea superiority through innovation and reliable logistics. Taylor maintains consistent relationships with a select group of specialized contractors, including Ordnance Technology Service, Inc., Boh Environmental, L.L.C., and Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, all of which provide high-reliability engineering and manufacturing services. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in defense-grade electronics, environmental testing, and mission-critical system integration. The contracting approach emphasizes technical capability over volume, fostering long-term collaborations with firms that demonstrate deep domain knowledge in undersea environments and military-grade compliance. There is no reliance on socioeconomic set-asides, as 100% of Taylor’s acquisitions are competed without restriction, indicating a focus on technical merit and mission readiness over socioeconomic criteria. This reflects a procurement strategy prioritizing performance, scalability, and readiness over targeted small business programs, though small businesses remain eligible and are frequently selected based on technical qualifications. Taylor’s procurement portfolio is concentrated in NAICS codes 335911, 334519, 334419, 511210, and 332420, corresponding to the manufacture of electronic components, measuring and controlling devices, software development for defense systems, and heavy-gauge metal tank fabrication. These categories underscore a technical focus on hardened sensor housings, signal processing hardware, embedded systems, and custom enclosures designed for extreme undersea conditions.
