Jane DeMatto

Jane DeMatto serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Philadelphia Division, supporting the U.S. Navy’s mission to modernize and sustain surface ship systems. She manages complex acquisitions for mission-critical naval platforms, focusing on integrated engineering solutions including propulsion systems, industrial control infrastructure, and shipboard electronic systems. Her work ensures operational readiness through the timely procurement of advanced technologies aligned with Navy modernization priorities, bridging technical requirements with contractual execution across the acquisition lifecycle. She maintains established relationships with leading defense and industrial contractors including Fairbanks Morse, LLC, Leidos, Inc., Rolls-Royce Corporation, G.S.E. Dynamics, Inc., and Kampi Components Co Inc. These partnerships reflect a consistent reliance on Tier-1 vendors with proven expertise in marine propulsion, electronic systems integration, and ruggedized computing hardware. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical compliance, and long-term sustainment support, fostering collaborative vendor engagement grounded in rigorous engineering validation and lifecycle cost considerations. DeMatto’s procurement portfolio demonstrates a strong preference for open competition, with 75% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions. The remaining 25% are allocated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate but measured commitment to small business participation. While she does not routinely prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her contracting patterns support a diverse supplier base by enabling qualified small businesses to compete for niche technical requirements within broader contract vehicles. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), 334118 (Computer Terminal and Other Computer Peripheral Equipment Manufacturing), and 333611 (Turbine and Turbine Generator Set Units Manufacturing). She specializes in acquiring shipboard control systems, ruggedized computing hardware, and marine turbine generator units—domains requiring stringent military specifications, environmental resilience, and integration with naval combat systems. Her technical expertise spans propulsion architecture, damage control systems, and industrial automation infrastructure critical to fleet readiness.
