Alex Collier

Alex Collier serves as a secondary procurement liaison at Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division (N00164), supporting the acquisition of advanced electronic, electro-optical, and ordnance systems critical to naval warfare readiness. While not the primary contracting officer, Collier plays a vital role in facilitating technical evaluations, requirements validation, and contract administration for high-priority defense programs. Their work ensures alignment between engineering specifications and acquisition execution, particularly in domains involving signal processing, electronic warfare suites, and precision munitions systems. Collier’s responsibilities include coordinating with program managers and technical leads to translate operational needs into solicitation language and contractor deliverables, ensuring compliance with DoD acquisition regulations and technical performance standards. Collier maintains consistent engagement with key contractors including Lockheed Martin Corporation, Programs Management Analytics & Technologies Inc., Integrity Defense Services Inc., Black Hills Ammunition Inc., and McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC. These partnerships span systems integration, specialized ordnance manufacturing, technical support services, and facility infrastructure, reflecting a mix of prime contractors and niche technical providers. The working relationship pattern is collaborative and technical, with Collier often acting as a conduit between program offices and industry to clarify performance metrics, test protocols, and delivery timelines. Collier’s procurement activities show no preference for socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. This reflects a mission-driven emphasis on technical capability over socioeconomic criteria, prioritizing performance, readiness, and system interoperability above small business participation mandates. The primary NAICS classification under Collier’s purview is 336411 (Aircraft Manufacturing), indicating a strong focus on airborne and expeditionary weapon systems, guidance components, and integrated electronic architectures. Procurements center on electro-optical sensors, radar countermeasures, munitions control systems, and related avionics—domains requiring rigorous testing, certification, and sustainment support for naval expeditionary forces.
