Nicholas Boyles

Nicholas Boyles 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 contracts aligned with NAVSEA’s mission to sustain and modernize the U.S. Navy’s fleet, with a primary focus on shipbuilding, repair, and integrated naval electronics. His acquisitions span the full spectrum of vessel construction and support services, ensuring technological readiness and operational capability across surface and undersea platforms. Boyles operates within a complex acquisition environment requiring strict adherence to defense procurement regulations and lifecycle cost considerations. He maintains strategic relationships with leading defense and shipbuilding contractors, including Damen Shipbuilding & Cooperation B.V., Huntington Ingalls Incorporated, Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, G.S.E. Dynamics, Inc., and Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC. These partnerships reflect a blend of large prime contractors with specialized engineering and shipyard capabilities, as well as niche technology providers delivering advanced naval systems. His contracting patterns emphasize long-term collaboration with vendors possessing proven expertise in naval architecture, propulsion integration, and combat systems support. Boyles exhibits a strong commitment to small business participation, with nearly half of his awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. While the majority of his portfolio is open competition, his consistent use of small business set-asides underscores a deliberate strategy to foster innovation and capacity within the defense industrial base. His contracting approach aligns with DoD priorities to expand opportunities for small, capable firms in high-demand technical domains. His procurement focus is overwhelmingly concentrated in NAICS 336612 (Boat Building), reflecting deep expertise in the design, construction, and modification of naval craft. He also engages in related engineering services under NAICS 541330 and ship repair under NAICS 336611, demonstrating a comprehensive understanding of maritime systems integration, materials procurement, and naval platform sustainment.
