Matt Hammond

Matt Hammond supports the Naval Surface Warfare Center’s mission to advance naval warfare capabilities through the acquisition of critical electronic, sensor, and communication systems for surface ships and maritime platforms. While his formal title is not specified, his procurement activities center on technical services and support solutions that enhance situational awareness, signal processing, and precision instrumentation. He plays a pivotal role in executing contracts aligned with the agency’s strategic priorities in modernizing sonar, radar, and electronic warfare systems, ensuring fleet readiness through timely and compliant acquisition practices. Hammond routinely engages with a select group of specialized contractors, including Cynergy Professional Systems LLC, Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, Science Applications International Corporation, The Whiskey Project Group USA LLC, and Washington Office Interiors LLC. These partnerships reflect a focus on niche technical service providers with expertise in defense electronics, systems integration, and facility support. His contracting patterns suggest a preference for established vendors with proven capability in naval systems sustainment, often leveraging long-standing relationships to ensure continuity in complex technical environments. His procurement portfolio exhibits a strong commitment to small business participation, with 66.7% of awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster innovation and capacity within the defense industrial base, prioritizing small businesses capable of delivering specialized technical services. The remaining 33.3% of acquisitions are non-set-aside, typically reserved for complex, mission-critical requirements requiring broader industry capability. Hammond’s primary NAICS focus is 488190 (Other Support Activities for Air Transportation), indicating a significant emphasis on logistics, test support, and technical services for sensor and navigation systems—despite the classification’s aviation association, it is frequently applied to maritime platform support. A secondary focus on 541310 (Architectural Services) suggests procurement of facility modifications to accommodate advanced electronic systems. His expertise lies in acquiring integrated technical services that bridge hardware sustainment, software modernization, and infrastructure adaptation for naval combat systems.
