Trevor Snow

Trevor Snow serves as a key procurement professional within the Office of Naval Research, supporting the agency’s mission to translate fundamental scientific discoveries into operational naval capabilities. He manages a portfolio of research and development contracts focused on physical, engineering, and life sciences, ensuring that cutting-edge innovations in autonomous systems, maritime sensing, and advanced propulsion are effectively acquired and transitioned to Navy and Marine Corps platforms. His work bridges the gap between scientific research and fielded technology, coordinating with federal laboratories, academic institutions, and defense contractors to meet urgent warfighting needs through competitive and technically rigorous acquisition processes. Snow maintains consistent relationships with leading defense and science contractors including CHEROKEE STRATEGIC SOLUTIONS, SCIENCE APPLICATIONS INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION, BAE SYSTEMS INFORMATION AND ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS INTEGRATION INC., SKYDWELLER US INC., and ABBOTT LABORATORIES INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established firms with proven expertise in defense R&D, systems integration, and advanced sensor development. His contracting approach emphasizes technical merit, innovation readiness, and mission alignment over socioeconomic set-asides, resulting in a procurement pattern that prioritizes performance and capability over vendor classification. Snow’s contracting activity is exclusively classified under NAICS 541715, reflecting a singular focus on research and development in the physical, engineering, and life sciences. He procures services related to experimental development, prototype design, computational modeling, and field testing of next-generation naval technologies. His expertise lies in managing complex, high-risk R&D contracts requiring deep technical oversight and agile acquisition strategies to accommodate evolving scientific outcomes. Notably, Snow’s portfolio exhibits no set-aside preferences, indicating a procurement strategy centered on technical excellence and mission-critical delivery rather than socioeconomic targeting. This reflects the Office of Naval Research’s prioritization of technological superiority and rapid capability insertion across its science and technology portfolio.
