PJ Kimener

Patrick Kimener serves as a Contract Specialist within Naval Information Warfare Systems (N00039), where he plays a pivotal role in executing complex acquisitions for mission-critical information warfare capabilities. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of contracts—from requirements validation and solicitation to award and administration—he ensures alignment with Department of the Navy strategic priorities in cyber-enabled systems, secure communications, and electromagnetic spectrum dominance. His portfolio primarily consists of performance-based, service-oriented contracts for advanced IT infrastructure, software development, and systems integration supporting tactical and strategic command and control architectures. Kimener maintains sustained working relationships with leading defense and aerospace contractors including Raytheon Company, Science Applications International Corporation, Intecon LLC, ITC Defense Corp, and Advanced Technology Systems Company, Inc. of Virginia. These partnerships are characterized by long-term, high-complexity engagements centered on secure systems design, network modernization, and real-time data fusion technologies. His procurement approach emphasizes technical rigor, risk mitigation, and compliance with DoD acquisition regulations, fostering collaborative vendor relationships grounded in performance accountability and innovation. Kimener’s contracting activity reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of his awards issued without set-asides, including no use of 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. This reflects a mission-driven focus on accessing the highest-capability industrial base to meet urgent operational needs in information warfare, rather than socioeconomic targeting. His primary procurement focus is on NAICS 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services), underscoring deep expertise in procuring custom software development, systems engineering, cybersecurity architecture, and integrated network solutions. He consistently acquires advanced technical services that enable the Navy’s transition to resilient, software-defined information warfare platforms, demonstrating specialized knowledge in DoD IT modernization and secure systems integration.
