Tahnee Yon

Tahnee Yon supports the Commander (M00264) within the Department of the Navy in executing mission-critical procurement activities aligned with naval warfighting modernization. Responsible for managing acquisitions in systems engineering, command and control modernization, and operational readiness support, Yon ensures contracts deliver integrated technology solutions that enhance tactical computing, sensor interoperability, and cyber-enabled decision-making. Their work directly enables the agency’s priority to sustain and advance naval combat capabilities through agile, secure, and scalable technical services, with a focus on procurement cycles that prioritize rapid fielding and lifecycle support for defense-critical systems. Yon maintains consistent contracting relationships with a core group of specialized vendors including GOLDBELT HAWK L.L.C., ALEX-ALTERNATIVE EXPERTS, LLC, TNDA TECHNOLOGIES INC., BC MARKET SOLUTIONS LLC, and BIOSPACE, INC. These partners provide niche expertise in systems integration, technical consulting, and mission support services, often delivering tailored solutions for command systems, training environments, and data analytics platforms. The working relationship pattern reflects a preference for established, responsive contractors with proven experience in defense-sector compliance, agile development, and rapid prototyping under strict security protocols. Set-aside preferences show a strong emphasis on open competition, with 72.2% of awards issued without socioeconomic set-asides. However, 27.8% are awarded under Total Small Business Set-Asides (FAR 19.5), indicating a deliberate, though not dominant, commitment to small business participation. This pattern suggests a balance between mission urgency and broad vendor access, favoring capability over socioeconomic classification unless specific expertise requires targeted outreach. Yon’s procurement focus centers on NAICS 541611 (management consulting), 541511 (custom computer programming), and 611420 (computer training), reflecting a heavy reliance on technical advisory services, software development, and workforce upskilling. They procure mission-enabling services such as systems engineering support, tactical software customization, and operator training systems, demonstrating deep expertise in the intersection of defense operations and commercial IT innovation.
