Matthew A. Riggitano

Matthew A. Riggitano serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Philadelphia Division, supporting the U.S. Navy’s mission to sustain and modernize surface ship systems. He manages complex acquisitions for mission-critical engineering and industrial systems, including turbine generator units, motor and generator assemblies, and shipboard industrial control infrastructure. His work directly enables the lifecycle readiness of naval platforms by securing advanced technical solutions for propulsion, damage control, and ballast systems. Riggitano’s portfolio emphasizes high-reliability, defense-grade components and services requiring rigorous testing and integration standards. He maintains long-standing partnerships with leading defense contractors including Fairbanks Morse, LLC, Leidos, Inc., Rolls-Royce Corporation, G.S.E. Dynamics, Inc., and Kampi Components Co Inc. These relationships are built on technical expertise in marine power systems, electromechanical integration, and industrial maintenance services. Riggitano consistently engages with vendors capable of delivering custom-engineered solutions under strict naval specifications, favoring established industry leaders with proven track records in naval platform support and systems integration. Riggitano’s contracting activity reflects a strict focus on full and open competition, with 100% of awards issued without set-aside preferences for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic programs. This indicates a procurement strategy prioritizing technical capability, system interoperability, and mission-critical reliability over socioeconomic targeting, aligning with the Navy’s need for assured performance in high-stakes operational environments. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 333611 (turbine and turbine generator set manufacturing), with significant activity in motor and generator production (335312), industrial machinery repair (811310), and engineering services (541330). He specializes in acquiring ruggedized, marine-certified equipment for shipboard integration, demonstrating deep domain expertise in naval propulsion systems, industrial automation, and fabricated metal components critical to platform survivability and operational endurance.
