Todd Colliflower

Todd Colliflower serves as a key procurement lead within U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM), responsible for managing mission-critical acquisitions that support elite special operations forces. His work centers on securing advanced maritime systems and specialized vessel technologies essential for covert insertion, reconnaissance, and rapid deployment in austere environments. He plays a pivotal role in translating operational requirements into technically precise solicitation packages, ensuring compliance with USSOCOM’s stringent standards for reliability, stealth, and interoperability. His acquisitions directly enable tactical superiority in littoral and coastal theaters through the procurement of high-performance, low-signature watercraft and integrated mission systems. Colliflower maintains a consistent working relationship with Shaver Foods LLC of Fayetteville, Arkansas, the primary contractor supporting USSOCOM’s maritime procurement needs. This partnership reflects a long-standing, performance-driven vendor relationship focused on delivering customized naval platforms and associated logistics support. His contracting approach emphasizes technical validation, lifecycle support, and supply chain resilience, favoring vendors with proven expertise in defense-grade boat building and mission-specific modifications. The relationship is characterized by iterative collaboration, with contractors often engaged early in requirements development to ensure operational feasibility. Colliflower’s procurement portfolio shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects USSOCOM’s operational imperative to prioritize technical capability and rapid delivery over socioeconomic preferences, ensuring that mission-critical capabilities are procured without delay or compromise. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in his portfolio, all contracts adhere to federal acquisition regulations and competitive bidding standards. His primary focus lies in NAICS 336612 (Boat Building), where he procures specialized maritime platforms including rigid-hull inflatable boats, semi-submersible craft, and integrated navigation/communications systems tailored for special operations use. His technical expertise spans naval architecture, stealth materials, and mission-specific payload integration, making him a critical link between operational units and industrial partners delivering next-generation maritime assets.
