Mike Hammersley

Mike Hammersley 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 is deeply embedded in the agency’s mission to sustain and modernize the U.S. Navy’s fleet, overseeing complex contract actions for shipbuilding, repair, and integration of advanced naval electronics. His work directly enables fleet readiness and technological superiority across surface and undersea domains, with a primary focus on full-cycle naval platform development—from design and construction to sustainment and modernization. Hammersley routinely manages large-scale, multi-year procurement actions requiring stringent compliance with defense acquisition regulations and technical oversight of integrated systems. He maintains long-standing relationships with principal 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 are characterized by sustained collaboration on major shipbuilding programs, systems integration, and technical modernization efforts. Hammersley’s contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, risk mitigation, and technical alignment with Navy engineering standards, fostering stable, high-capacity vendor relationships essential for national security delivery. Hammersley’s procurement portfolio reflects a strict focus on open competition, with 100% of awards issued under no set-aside conditions. This underscores a strategic emphasis on leveraging industry’s full capacity to meet urgent fleet requirements, prioritizing technical capability and industrial base resilience over socioeconomic set-asides. While small business participation is not formally structured into his award strategy, he operates within a broader NAVSEA framework that encourages prime contractor subcontracting to qualified small businesses where operationally feasible. His primary procurement activity centers on NAICS 336611—Ship Building and Repairing—reflecting deep expertise in naval architecture, steel hull construction, propulsion systems, combat integration, and shipboard electronics. He procures complex, mission-specific platforms including destroyers, amphibious ships, and support vessels, ensuring alignment with Navy’s modernization roadmap and future force design objectives.
