Stephen Todd

Stephen Todd serves as a key procurement lead within the Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC) Systems and Experimental Warfare Center, overseeing acquisitions critical to advancing naval operational readiness through cutting-edge engineering and experimental warfare technologies. He manages a specialized portfolio of contracts focused on the design, construction, and sustainment of power and communication infrastructure supporting naval installations and maritime research facilities. His role ensures alignment with NAVFAC’s mission to innovate and maintain resilient underwater and coastal systems, including explosive effects analysis platforms and oceanographic infrastructure. Todd’s acquisitions are strictly tied to NAICS 237130, reflecting his deep focus on power and communication line construction, substations, and related utility systems essential to naval mission continuity. His primary contractor relationships include SOCIEDAD ESPANOLA DE MONTAJES INDUSTRIALES SA, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Emerging Compounds Treatment Technologies, Inc., Boh Environmental, L.L.C., and the Foundation for Marine Ecology and Telemetry Research. These partnerships reflect a strategic emphasis on specialized engineering firms, oceanographic research institutions, and environmental technology providers capable of delivering high-integrity, mission-critical infrastructure and experimental systems under demanding maritime conditions. Todd consistently engages vendors with proven expertise in underwater cabling, corrosion-resistant materials, and expeditionary power systems, fostering long-term collaborations grounded in technical rigor and regulatory compliance. Todd’s procurement strategy is fully aligned with small business set-aside mandates, with 100% of his contracts designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate and consistent commitment to expanding opportunities for small, innovative firms capable of meeting the Navy’s unique technical demands. He prioritizes partnerships with firms certified under small business programs, ensuring broad participation from niche providers with specialized capabilities in marine infrastructure and environmental compliance. His industry focus centers exclusively on NAICS 237130, encompassing the construction of power transmission lines, submarine communication cables, shore-based electrical distribution networks, and integrated utility systems for experimental warfare test ranges. His technical domain expertise lies in resilient, saltwater-resistant infrastructure that supports naval R&D, underwater sensing, and expeditionary operations, ensuring that critical systems remain operational in austere maritime environments.
