Phyllis Hoggatt

Phyllis Hoggatt serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division (N00164), supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to develop, test, and sustain advanced electronic, electro-optical, and ordnance systems. She manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on precision sensing, signal processing, communications, and electronic warfare technologies critical to surface and expeditionary naval forces. Her work ensures timely delivery of mission-critical capabilities through complex contract vehicles, often involving high-technology systems requiring rigorous engineering validation and lifecycle sustainment support. Hoggatt maintains consistent relationships with leading defense and aerospace contractors including Lockheed Martin Corporation, Programs Management Analytics & Technologies Inc., and Black Hills Ammunition Inc., reflecting a preference for established industry partners with proven expertise in defense electronics and ordnance systems. She also engages specialized service providers such as Integrity Defense Services Inc. and McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, indicating a balanced approach that combines high-tech system integration with mission-enabling infrastructure and support services. Her contracting patterns emphasize technical reliability, performance history, and systems integration capability over emerging vendors. Her procurement strategy reflects a strong orientation toward open competition, with 98.8% of awards issued without set-aside designations, indicating a focus on mission necessity and technical capability over socioeconomic preferences. Only 1.2% of awards are designated as total small business set-asides, suggesting a targeted, rather than broad, commitment to small business participation, typically reserved for niche technical services or specialized support functions. Hoggatt’s primary NAICS focus areas include 334511 (search and navigation system manufacturing), 334515 (electrical signal measurement instrumentation), and 335999 (miscellaneous electrical components), underscoring her specialization in advanced sensor systems, radar and signal detection technologies, and mission-specific electronic components. Her portfolio consistently supports the modernization of naval electronic warfare suites and expeditionary communications platforms, requiring deep technical acumen in defense electronics and systems engineering.
