Jamie Myers

Jamie Myers serves as a key procurement lead within the Naval Undersea Warfare Center, supporting the development and sustainment of critical undersea warfare systems for the U.S. Navy. Responsible for managing complex acquisitions in ordnance, fabricated metal components, and ruggedized electronic systems, Myers ensures alignment with the Center’s mission to maintain technological superiority in sonar, navigation, and underwater sensor technologies. Their procurement activities focus on delivering mission-critical hardware and integrated subsystems for submarines and unmanned undersea vehicles, emphasizing reliability, electromagnetic compatibility, and environmental ruggedization in high-pressure, saltwater-exposed operational environments. Myers maintains consistent working relationships with specialized contractors including Ordnance Technology Service, Inc., Boh Environmental, L.L.C., and Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, among others. These partnerships center on niche manufacturers capable of producing precision ordnance components, specialized metal fabrications, and mission-ready electronic enclosures. The contracting approach prioritizes vendors with proven expertise in defense-grade manufacturing, military specification compliance, and rapid prototyping for undersea systems, fostering long-term collaboration with suppliers who meet stringent Navy certification and quality assurance standards. There is no preference for socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of acquisitions conducted as full and open competitions. This reflects a strategic emphasis on technical capability and mission readiness over socioeconomic criteria, ensuring access to the most qualified industrial base regardless of business size or certification status. While small businesses are not excluded, selection is driven by technical merit, past performance, and compliance with defense manufacturing standards. Myers’ procurement portfolio is concentrated in NAICS 332994 (Small Arms, Ordnance, and Ordnance Accessories Manufacturing) and 332999 (All Other Miscellaneous Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing), reflecting a focus on precision ordnance components, weapon system housings, and ruggedized metal enclosures for undersea sensors. The technical domain demands advanced metallurgy, non-corrosive coatings, and shock-resistant design, aligning with the Center’s mission to sustain undersea dominance through cutting-edge hardware innovation.
