NSWK02

Contracting Specialist NSWK02 serves as a key procurement lead within the Naval Special Warfare Command, responsible for acquiring mission-critical goods and services that sustain elite maritime special operations capabilities. This role directly supports the Command’s strategic priorities by managing complex acquisitions for specialized equipment, tactical training systems, and infrastructure support essential to unconventional warfare readiness. The specialist handles a diverse portfolio of contracts spanning technical, logistical, and operational domains, ensuring timely delivery of capabilities that enhance ground and water-based mobility, unmanned system integration, and force protection. Their work is central to maintaining operational tempo and readiness across high-risk, low-visibility missions. The specialist maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of trusted vendors, including Trofholz Technologies, Inc., Pass Christian Yacht Works, LLC, and Teamworks Tactical Solutions Inc., each providing niche expertise in maritime vessel maintenance, tactical equipment fabrication, and mission-specific training systems. Additional partnerships with McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC and Airgas USA, LLC reflect a balanced approach to facility support and specialized gas supply needs. These relationships are characterized by long-term collaboration, technical alignment with special operations requirements, and a preference for vendors with proven experience in defense-critical environments. A balanced approach to socioeconomic contracting is evident, with approximately half of procurements set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5, reflecting a strong commitment to broadening vendor participation. While no single socioeconomic category dominates, the specialist consistently leverages small business set-asides to foster innovation and resilience within the defense supply base, aligning with DoD mandates for equitable access and competitive sourcing. Primary procurement activity centers on NAICS 511210 (Software Publishers), indicating a strong focus on mission-critical software and digital training platforms. Complementary activity includes commercial and industrial machinery repair (811310), sports and recreation instruction (611620) for physical readiness programs, miscellaneous manufacturing (339999), and office furniture (337214), underscoring a multidomain operational support function that blends tactical, logistical, and administrative procurement needs.
