Temica L. Scroggins

Temica L. Scroggins serves as a Contract Specialist at Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren Division (NSWC Dahlgren), where she plays a pivotal role in executing complex acquisitions that support the development and integration of advanced naval warfare systems. Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of contracts for research, development, test, and evaluation initiatives spanning electronic warfare, command and control platforms, and embedded computing systems. Scroggins specializes in procuring technically demanding goods and services that enable integrated combat capabilities for surface ships and networked military environments, ensuring compliance with Department of the Navy acquisition regulations and mission-critical timelines. She maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of prime contractors, including TEX-TECH ENGINEERED COMPOSITES, LLC for specialized materials, TATITLEK GOVERNMENT SERVICES, INC. for technical support services, 3DB LABS INC for additive manufacturing solutions, WASTE REMOVAL USA, LLC for environmental compliance, and BOWHEAD PROGRAM MANAGEMENT & OPERATIONS, LLC for programmatic oversight. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in defense-sector engineering, logistics, and rapid prototyping, often requiring stringent security and quality controls. Scroggins demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with approximately one-third of her awards structured as Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides. While the majority of her acquisitions are open to full and open competition, her deliberate use of SDVOSB set-asides underscores her dedication to fostering veteran-owned enterprise participation in critical defense innovation. Her procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing) and 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), each accounting for one-third of her portfolio, with additional emphasis on 334118 (Computer Peripheral Equipment Manufacturing) and 333415 (Refrigeration and HVAC Equipment). These categories reflect her technical specialization in avionics, signal processing hardware, embedded systems, and mission-critical IT infrastructure supporting naval combat systems.
