Tatyana V Bolton

Tatyana V. Bolton supports the Strategic Systems Programs (N00030) in managing critical procurement activities for the U.S. Navy’s sea-based strategic deterrent systems. She plays a key role in executing lifecycle acquisitions for submarine-launched ballistic missile systems, weapons integration platforms, and associated command, control, and communication infrastructure. Her work ensures the operational readiness and technological superiority of national strategic deterrence capabilities through rigorous systems engineering and test and evaluation contracting. Bolton routinely handles complex, high-stakes acquisitions involving advanced defense technologies, requiring deep technical understanding and compliance with stringent national security procurement protocols. She maintains established relationships with leading defense prime contractors including Lockheed Martin Corporation, Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, General Dynamics Mission Systems, Inc., Systems Planning and Analysis, Inc., and JRC Integrated Systems, LLC. These partnerships are centered on integrated systems development, systems engineering support, and mission-critical software and hardware integration. Her contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, technical validation, and performance-based acquisition strategies to meet the demanding reliability and security standards of strategic nuclear deterrent programs. Bolton’s procurement portfolio reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 85.7% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions. The remaining 14.3% are allocated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured but consistent commitment to small business participation within the constraints of mission-critical requirements. While socioeconomic set-asides are limited, she ensures qualified small businesses are competitively considered for specialized technical services where scale and certification align with program needs. Her primary NAICS focus areas include 334511 for advanced navigation and guidance systems and 541611 for strategic management consulting, reflecting her emphasis on systems integration and technical oversight. She also procures engineering services under 541330 to support weapons system design, test, and certification. Her expertise lies in acquiring mission-critical technologies for nuclear deterrence, requiring precision in requirements definition, risk mitigation, and compliance with defense acquisition regulations.
