Maytee Montalvan

Maytee Montalvan serves as a key procurement professional within the Strategic Systems Programs (N00030), supporting the Department of the Navy’s critical mission to sustain and modernize the nation’s sea-based nuclear deterrent. Responsible for managing complex acquisition programs, Montalvan oversees contracts for systems engineering, test and evaluation, and integration of submarine-launched ballistic missile systems and associated command, control, and communication infrastructure. Their work ensures the operational readiness, reliability, and security of strategic deterrence platforms through technically rigorous procurement practices aligned with defense acquisition regulations. Montalvan maintains longstanding relationships with prime contractors including Lockheed Martin Corporation, Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, General Dynamics Mission Systems, Inc., Systems Planning and Analysis, Inc., and JRC Integrated Systems, LLC. These partnerships are centered on high-assurance engineering services, weapons system integration, and advanced navigation and guidance technologies. The procurement approach emphasizes long-term collaboration with industry leaders possessing deep domain expertise in nuclear deterrence systems, with a focus on performance-based contracting and risk-mitigated acquisition strategies. There is no preference for socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. This reflects a mission-critical requirement for specialized technical capabilities that are currently available only through large, cleared defense contractors with proven track records in classified environments and nuclear systems lifecycle support. The procurement portfolio is overwhelmingly focused on NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), encompassing systems engineering, integration, and test support for strategic weapons platforms, with a secondary emphasis on NAICS 334511 for the procurement of specialized navigation, guidance, and detection systems. Montalvan’s expertise lies in acquiring advanced defense technologies requiring stringent security protocols, rigorous certification, and deep technical interoperability within the strategic deterrence enterprise.
