Assistant for Administration

The Department of the Navy Secretary of the Navy Assistant for Administration is a defense agency sub-office that procures administrative, logistical, and support services for Navy headquarters operations. The office operates under federal acquisition mechanisms and manages a portfolio spanning both contracting and grant activity, though contract work dominates the operational footprint.

The office has awarded 7,317 federal contracts cumulatively since 1998, with combined potential value of $9.31 billion and $7.24 billion obligated across those awards. Recent contract activity shows a declining trend: the office awarded 300 contracts in 2022, 296 in 2023, 227 in 2024, 148 in 2025, and 72 year-to-date in 2026. The most recent contract award closed in August 2026. The office has transacted with 1,803 distinct prime contractors across the portfolio history.

Contract competition is fragmented by award count but highly concentrated by potential value. Over the last five years, Delta Consulting Group Inc. leads by award count with 42 awards ($6.9 million combined potential value), followed by Beacon Group, LLC with 39 awards ($9.7 million), and Leidos, Inc. with 35 awards ($2.9 million); these three account for 16 percent of recent awards. By potential value, Raytheon Company dominates with 27 awards worth $120.6 million, followed by Lockheed Martin Corporation with 20 awards worth $34.6 million and Carahsoft Technology Corp with 12 awards worth $21.7 million; the top five by value cover only 2 percent of combined potential value in recent years, indicating that the portfolio is spread across many smaller awards and that much activity transacts through vehicles with unreported potential values (Schedule task orders, BPA calls, or modifications).

The set-aside portfolio is heavily open competition: 87 percent of awards carry no set-aside designation. Small Business awards account for 8 percent of the total, with 8(a) sole-source awards representing 3 percent. Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, HUBZone, and Women-Owned Small Business awards together represent less than 1 percent.

Grant activity is minimal and inactive. The office has awarded 3 Cooperative Agreements cumulatively, totaling $598 thousand in federal dollars obligated, with the most recent award closing in June 2022. Colorado State University and Washington State Department of Fish & Wildlife each received 1 award. No grant opportunities are currently recorded against the office.
