These partnerships reflect a focus on prime contractors with proven expertise in naval architecture, combat systems integration, and mission-critical electronics. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical rigor, and long-term industrial base stability, fostering collaborative engagements with vendors capable of delivering high-assurance, mission-essential capabilities. Movahed’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of contracts awarded under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on leveraging the broadest possible industrial base to meet the Navy’s demanding technical and schedule requirements, with no preferential allocation to 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic categories. His approach prioritizes capability, capacity, and technical compliance over socioeconomic criteria. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), 334511 (Naval and Aeronautical System and Instrument Manufacturing), and 541330 (Engineering Services). He routinely acquires integrated warship systems, sonar and radar suites, propulsion controls, and specialized marine engineering support, demonstrating deep technical fluency in naval platform integration and defense systems procurement.
