Renee S. Staton

Renee S. Staton serves as a Contract Specialist within the Commander (M00264), a Department of the Navy organization responsible for sustaining and advancing naval warfighting capabilities through integrated systems engineering and mission-critical support. In this role, she manages the full lifecycle of complex defense acquisitions, with a primary focus on heavy-duty tactical vehicle systems and armored vehicle platforms. Her expertise spans solicitation development, source selection, contract negotiation, and performance monitoring, ensuring alignment with DoD acquisition regulations and operational readiness requirements. Staton’s portfolio centers on procuring high-integrity, combat-ready hardware and associated support services critical to naval force modernization. She maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized defense contractors, including Goldbelt Hawk L.L.C., Alex-Alternative Experts, LLC, Tnda Technologies Inc., BC Market Solutions LLC, and Biospace, Inc. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven experience in military-grade vehicle systems, tactical computing, and mission-critical logistics support. Staton collaborates closely with these firms to ensure technical compliance, supply chain resilience, and timely delivery of systems that meet stringent naval warfare standards. Staton’s contracting activity reflects a 100% no set-aside preference, indicating a focus on full and open competition to ensure access to the broadest range of technical capabilities. While she does not prioritize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her procurement approach emphasizes technical merit, performance history, and industrial base readiness over socioeconomic categorization. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336120 (Heavy Duty Truck Manufacturing) and 336992 (Military Armored Vehicle, Tank, and Tank Component Manufacturing), reflecting deep expertise in acquiring armored combat vehicles, protected mobility platforms, and associated subsystems. She routinely oversees contracts for advanced armor integration, survivability enhancements, and command-and-control-enabled vehicle architectures, supporting the Navy’s strategic priorities in tactical mobility and force protection.
