Kevin J. Edmond

Kevin J. Edmond serves as a Contract Specialist for the Commander (M00264) under the Department of the Navy, where he plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions that sustain and modernize naval warfighting capabilities. He manages a diverse portfolio of contracts centered on tactical computing systems, command and control architectures, sensor and communication technologies, and armored vehicle support services. His work directly supports operational readiness by ensuring timely delivery of cyber-enabled decision tools and integrated engineering solutions aligned with Navy modernization priorities. Edmond specializes in complex, technical procurements requiring rigorous systems engineering oversight and compliance with defense acquisition regulations. Edmond maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of contractors including GOLDBELT HAWK L.L.C., ALEX-ALTERNATIVE EXPERTS, LLC, TNDA TECHNOLOGIES INC., BC MARKET SOLUTIONS LLC, and BIOSPACE, INC. These vendors provide specialized services in systems integration, advanced programming, and defense-specific technical support, reflecting a preference for established partners with proven expertise in naval operational environments. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, clear statement of work development, and long-term vendor collaboration to ensure mission continuity and technical reliability. While the majority of his acquisitions—90.9%—are conducted without set-asides, Edmond demonstrates a targeted commitment to small business participation, with 9.1% of awards designated for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses. This selective use of socioeconomic programs reflects a strategic balance between mission urgency and equitable opportunity, ensuring that qualified SDVOSBs contribute meaningfully to high-priority defense initiatives. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 332994 (small arms and ordnance accessories), 541511 (custom computer programming), and 511210 (software publishing), with additional emphasis on 334511 (navigation and guidance systems) and 611430 (professional training).
