Matthew Brundidge

Matthew Brundidge serves as a key procurement professional within Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA HQ), supporting the acquisition and lifecycle management of naval vessels and mission-critical maritime systems. He plays a central role in executing the agency’s shipbuilding and modernization initiatives, overseeing full-spectrum contract actions for new construction, repair, and technological integration of surface and undersea platforms. His work directly enables fleet readiness and technological superiority by ensuring timely delivery of high-performance naval platforms aligned with Navy strategic priorities. Brundidge specializes in complex, multi-year acquisitions governed by Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) requirements, with a focus on end-to-end vessel development from design through delivery. Brundidge maintains strategic relationships with leading shipbuilders and defense contractors, including Huntington Ingalls Incorporated, Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, Damen Shipbuilding & Cooperation B.V., G.S.E. Dynamics, Inc., and Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC. These partnerships reflect a reliance on established prime contractors with proven expertise in naval architecture, integrated combat systems, and advanced propulsion technologies. His contracting patterns emphasize long-term collaboration with vendors possessing deep domain knowledge in shipyard operations, naval electronics integration, and corrosion-resistant materials, ensuring technical fidelity and schedule adherence across high-stakes programs. Brundidge’s procurement portfolio exhibits no set-aside preferences, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a mission-driven focus on technical capability and industrial capacity over socioeconomic categorization, prioritizing performance, scale, and readiness over program-specific small business targets. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in his portfolio, vendors are evaluated strictly on technical merit, past performance, and production readiness. His primary procurement focus lies within NAICS 336612 (Boat Building), encompassing the design, construction, and modification of naval surface ships, submarines, and support craft. He procures integrated hull, mechanical, and electrical systems, combat management hardware, sonar arrays, and propulsion modules, demonstrating deep technical fluency in naval engineering standards and military specification compliance.
