Tommie L. Klise

Tommie L. Klise serves as a Contract Specialist within the Commander (M00264) under the Department of the Navy, where she plays a critical role in executing mission-critical acquisitions that sustain and modernize naval warfighting capabilities. She manages the full lifecycle of contracts for advanced technology systems, including command and control architectures, tactical computing environments, and mission-support equipment such as sensor and armored vehicle systems. Her work directly supports operational readiness by ensuring timely delivery of cyber-enabled decision tools and integrated engineering solutions aligned with Navy modernization priorities. Klise specializes in complex, technical procurements requiring rigorous systems engineering oversight and compliance with defense acquisition regulations. Klise maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of 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 vendors with proven expertise in defense-grade systems integration, specialized manufacturing, and mission-critical maintenance services. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical compliance, and long-term vendor reliability, fostering collaborative relationships built on accountability and mission alignment rather than volume-based award patterns. Klise’s procurement portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on technical capability over socioeconomic categorization, prioritizing the most qualified providers regardless of business size or certification status. While small business participation is not formally incentivized through set-asides, her contracting actions remain compliant with all federal requirements and are guided by merit-based evaluation criteria. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 333120 (Construction Machinery Manufacturing) and 335311 (Power and Specialty Transformer Manufacturing), indicating strong demand for ruggedized power systems and heavy equipment critical to naval operations. She also frequently procures services under 811310 (Machinery Repair and Maintenance) and 541712 (Research and Development in Physical Sciences), underscoring her expertise in sustaining and advancing advanced technical systems through integrated engineering and lifecycle support.
