Jonathon Fertig

Jonathon Fertig serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Surface Warfare Center, supporting the development and sustainment of advanced electronic, sensor, and signal processing systems for surface warfare platforms. He manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions aligned with the agency’s mission to enhance situational awareness, navigation, and undersea dominance through cutting-edge instrumentation and communications technologies. His contracting activities focus on technical services and specialized equipment procurement, ensuring fleet readiness through timely delivery of mission-critical capabilities in radar, sonar, and industrial control systems. Fertig maintains consistent relationships with a core group of contractors including CYNERGY PROFESSIONAL SYSTEMS LLC, AEROSPACE & COMMERCIAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLC, and SCIENCE APPLICATIONS INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION, all of which provide specialized engineering, systems integration, and technical support services. He frequently engages vendors with proven expertise in electronic warfare instrumentation, battery systems, and test laboratory services, fostering long-term partnerships built on technical reliability and compliance with Navy specifications. His procurement approach prioritizes vendors capable of delivering ruggedized, field-deployable solutions under stringent military standards. Fertig’s contracting patterns reflect a strong emphasis on open competition, with approximately 63% of awards issued without set-asides. However, he actively supports small business participation, allocating 36.8% of awards to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a balanced commitment to both mission efficiency and socioeconomic objectives. While he does not routinely favor 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, his portfolio consistently includes qualified small businesses capable of delivering niche technical solutions. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS categories related to battery manufacturing, precision instrumentation for industrial control, and engineering services, reflecting deep technical alignment with naval electronic systems. He regularly acquires specialized test equipment, signal processing hardware, and calibration services essential to maintaining the operational integrity of surface ship combat systems.
