Phillip Morris

Phillip Morris serves as a Contract Specialist at the Naval Surface Warfare Center (N64267), where he plays a critical role in executing complex procurements to support the development, integration, and sustainment of advanced naval electronic systems. His portfolio focuses on engineering services, sensor technologies, and specialized electronic components essential to surface ship readiness and undersea dominance. Morris manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions—from requirements validation and market research to contract award and administration—ensuring alignment with Department of the Navy strategic priorities in radar, sonar, signal processing, and precision instrumentation systems. He maintains established working relationships with a core group of contractors including Cynergy Professional Systems LLC, Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, Science Applications International Corporation, The Whiskey Project Group USA LLC, and Washington Office Interiors LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced defense contractors capable of delivering high-reliability technical solutions, particularly in systems engineering, electronic integration, and mission-critical infrastructure support. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and technical compliance within strict naval specifications. Morris’s procurement patterns show a strong emphasis on open competition, with 82.8% of awards issued without set-asides, indicating a focus on technical capability over socioeconomic categorization. However, he consistently allocates 17.2% of opportunities to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured but active commitment to small business participation without compromising mission-critical requirements. His primary NAICS focus areas include Engineering Services (541330), Bare Printed Circuit Board Manufacturing (334412), and Electronic Connector Manufacturing (334417), reflecting deep engagement with hardware development, signal integrity, and embedded systems. He routinely procures custom electronic assemblies, test instrumentation, and technical support services critical to modernizing naval warfare systems, underscoring his expertise in high-technology defense procurement environments.
