Jamie Yourkoski

Jamie Yourkoski serves as a key procurement professional within Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division Keyport, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to advance undersea warfare technologies. Responsible for managing complex acquisitions of specialized electronic components, precision machine tool systems, and engineering services, Jamie ensures the timely delivery of mission-critical capabilities for naval sonar, sensor arrays, and underwater detection systems. Their work directly enables the development, testing, and sustainment of high-fidelity signal processing platforms and ruggedized underwater instrumentation essential for maritime operational superiority. Jamie maintains a broad network of industrial partners, primarily engaging with manufacturers of aerospace and defense-grade instrumentation, machine shops producing high-tolerance components, and engineering firms specializing in undersea system integration. While no single contractor dominates the portfolio, relationships are built on technical rigor, compliance with MIL-STD specifications, and proven performance in delivering ruggedized, classified hardware. Vendor partnerships emphasize reliability, traceability, and adherence to ITAR and DFARS requirements, with a preference for suppliers possessing AS9100 and ISO 9001 certifications. Set-aside preferences reflect a strong emphasis on open competition, with 95.5% of acquisitions conducted without socioeconomic set-asides. The remaining 4.5% are awarded under Total Small Business Set-Asides, demonstrating a measured but consistent commitment to small business participation without compromising mission-critical performance standards. No formal preference for 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs has been observed, indicating a focus on technical capability over socioeconomic categorization. Jamie’s procurement focus centers on NAICS 334511 for undersea detection systems, 336611 for ship-related instrumentation, and 332710/333517 for precision machining and machine tool systems. Technical expertise spans electro-acoustic transducers, underwater signal conditioning hardware, and custom-built test fixtures used in sonar array calibration and environmental testing. Their domain knowledge ensures acquisitions align with Navy undersea warfare requirements and maintain compatibility with existing fleet systems.
