Zachary McCurry

Zachary McCurry serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Philadelphia Division, supporting the U.S. Navy’s mission to sustain and modernize surface ship systems. He manages complex acquisitions for advanced engineering services, shipboard electronic systems, and mission-critical industrial control infrastructure, ensuring operational readiness through timely delivery of technically rigorous solutions. His portfolio spans the full lifecycle of naval platform upgrades—from design and integration to testing and sustainment—with a focus on propulsion, damage control, and ballast systems essential to fleet resilience. McCurry maintains established working relationships with leading defense contractors including FAIRBANKS MORSE, LEIDOS, ROLLS-ROYCE, G.S.E. DYNAMICS, and KAMPI COMPONENTS, who provide specialized expertise in marine power systems, electronic warfare components, and fabricated metal subsystems. These partnerships reflect a preference for proven industry leaders with deep naval experience, often awarded through competitive sealed bidding under FAR Part 15. His contracting approach emphasizes technical compliance, performance-based requirements, and long-term sustainment support. His procurement patterns show a strong emphasis on open competition, with 82.9% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions. While small business participation is present—primarily through Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5—he rarely utilizes 8(a) or other socioeconomic programs, indicating a focus on technical capability over socioeconomic classification. This reflects the agency’s priority on mission-critical performance in high-stakes naval environments. McCurry’s primary NAICS focus includes engineering services (541330), miscellaneous electrical component manufacturing (335999), and electronic computer and component manufacturing (334111, 334419), underscoring his expertise in procuring embedded systems, control hardware, and integrated shipboard electronics. His acquisitions consistently target advanced, ruggedized technologies capable of operating in harsh maritime conditions, aligning with the Navy’s modernization imperatives for surface combatants.
