Suzanne Coomes

Suzanne Coomes serves as a key procurement lead within the Commander (M00264) under the Department of the Navy, responsible for managing mission-critical acquisitions that sustain and modernize naval warfighting capabilities. She oversees contracts supporting advanced command and control architectures, tactical computing environments, and integrated sensor and communication systems, ensuring operational readiness through technology-driven solutions. Her portfolio emphasizes systems engineering, logistics optimization, and cyber-enabled decision support services, aligning closely with the agency’s focus on next-generation naval infrastructure and real-time battlefield analytics. Coomes maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of specialized 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 niche providers with deep expertise in defense-specific consulting, custom software development, and engineered equipment manufacturing. Her procurement approach prioritizes technical proficiency and mission alignment over volume, fostering long-term collaborations with vendors capable of delivering complex, high-integrity solutions under stringent naval standards. Her contracting patterns show a strong emphasis on open competition, with 77.8% of awards issued without set-asides, indicating a focus on best-value outcomes based on technical merit. The remaining 22.2% are distributed between 8(a) competed and total small business set-asides, demonstrating a measured but deliberate commitment to socioeconomic programs without compromising mission requirements. This balanced approach ensures access to innovative small business capabilities while maintaining operational readiness. Coomes’ procurement activity centers on NAICS codes 541614 (process and logistics consulting), 541611 (management consulting), 541511 (custom computer programming), and 333618 (other engine equipment manufacturing), reflecting expertise in defense logistics, systems integration, and specialized hardware development. Her work spans the full lifecycle of naval technology modernization—from strategic planning and systems analysis to field-deployable hardware and secure software environments—supporting the Navy’s evolving digital battlefield needs.
