Robert V. Fisher

Robert V. Fisher serves as a Contract Specialist at the Naval Undersea Warfare Center (N00253), where he plays a critical role in executing complex procurements to support the U.S. Navy’s undersea warfare capabilities. His responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of contracts for advanced sensor systems, ruggedized computing platforms, and electronic warfare technologies essential to submarine and unmanned undersea vehicle operations. Fisher ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurement actions with the agency’s strategic priorities in sonar, signal processing, and underwater navigation systems. He routinely handles both sole-source and competitive acquisitions for high-technical, mission-critical hardware and engineering services. Fisher maintains established relationships with key contractors including ORDNANCE TECHNOLOGY SERVICE, INC., Boh Environmental, L.L.C., and AEROSPACE & COMMERCIAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLC, among others. These partnerships reflect a focus on specialized defense contractors with proven expertise in undersea systems integration, environmental compliance for naval facilities, and mission-specific instrumentation. His contracting patterns indicate a preference for vendors with deep technical domain knowledge and prior experience supporting Navy undersea platforms, fostering long-term, performance-based vendor relationships grounded in reliability and technical proficiency. Fisher’s procurement activity is overwhelmingly non-set-aside, with 95% of awards issued under full and open competition, reflecting the specialized nature of undersea warfare technologies and the limited pool of qualified industry participants. Only 5% of contracts are designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a selective but intentional approach to small business participation where capabilities align with mission needs. His primary NAICS focus areas include 238220 for facility infrastructure supporting naval sites, 334511 and 334515 for the manufacture of navigation, guidance, and signal measurement systems, and 336611 for shipbuilding-related components. These reflect a technical procurement profile centered on electronic warfare instrumentation, underwater sensor development, and mission-enabling infrastructure essential to sustaining undersea dominance.
