Matthew Dominy

Matthew Dominy serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC) Systems and Experimental Warfare Center, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to advance operational readiness through cutting-edge research and technical innovation. He manages complex acquisitions in scientific research, engineering services, and software development, with a focus on experimental warfare technologies, ocean infrastructure, and explosive effects analysis. His work ensures the timely delivery of mission-critical capabilities to support naval forces, often coordinating multidisciplinary contracts that bridge civilian research institutions and defense contractors. Dominy’s portfolio is characterized by high-technical-risk, high-impact projects requiring specialized expertise and rigorous testing protocols. He maintains strategic relationships with a select group of technical partners, including Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution for marine systems research, Sociedad Española de Montajes Industriales SA for specialized industrial fabrication, and Emerging Compounds Treatment Technologies, Inc. for environmental remediation solutions. His contracting approach emphasizes long-term collaboration with organizations possessing niche scientific and engineering capabilities, often engaging non-traditional defense vendors with proven expertise in oceanographic, chemical, and computational domains. These partnerships are typically established through competitive solicitations requiring detailed technical proposals and demonstration of domain-specific experience. Dominy’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a deliberate focus on technical merit and capability over socioeconomic preferences, prioritizing mission-critical performance over certification-based set-asides. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in his portfolio, vendor selection remains grounded in demonstrated technical proficiency and past performance. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541715 (Research and Development in Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences), followed by 513210 (Software Publishers) and 541330 (Engineering Services). He consistently acquires advanced modeling and simulation tools, ocean sensor systems, data analytics platforms, and specialized engineering design services—reflecting deep expertise in maritime technology development and experimental warfare systems integration.
