Joseph A. Magee

Joseph A. Magee 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 platforms. He manages complex acquisitions for mission-critical engineering systems, including shipboard propulsion, damage control, ballast, and industrial control infrastructure. His work directly enables operational readiness by ensuring the integration of advanced electronic and mechanical systems across naval vessels. Magee handles a diverse portfolio of contracts under FAR and DFARS guidelines, emphasizing technical rigor, lifecycle sustainment, and compliance with naval engineering standards. Magee maintains consistent 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 focus on high-reliability mechanical systems, digital control architectures, and specialized naval components. His contracting approach prioritizes long-term vendor collaboration, technical validation, and performance-based acquisition strategies to ensure system interoperability and durability under extreme maritime conditions. While the majority of his acquisitions—84.2%—are conducted as full and open competitions, Magee maintains a deliberate 15.8% commitment to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a balanced approach to innovation and competition. He actively facilitates opportunities for qualified small businesses capable of delivering specialized engineering services and niche components, aligning with Department of the Navy goals for workforce resilience and supply chain diversity. His procurement focus centers on NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), reflecting deep expertise in naval platform integration. He also procures analytical laboratory instrumentation (334516), technical support services (561990), and specialized software solutions (511210), underscoring a multidisciplinary approach to sustaining complex naval systems. Magee’s work bridges mechanical engineering, electronic systems integration, and industrial automation to support the Navy’s enduring modernization priorities.
