Alexandra Hiser

Alexandra Hiser serves as a key procurement professional within the Strategic Systems Programs (N00030), supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to ensure the reliability, security, and operational readiness of the U.S. sea-based nuclear deterrent. She manages complex acquisitions for systems engineering, test and evaluation, and integration services critical to submarine-launched ballistic missile systems and strategic weapons infrastructure. Her work directly enables lifecycle management of classified, high-consequence defense platforms, requiring stringent compliance with defense acquisition regulations and technical oversight of advanced engineering solutions. Hisers’ contracting portfolio is dominated by long-standing partnerships with prime defense contractors including Lockheed Martin Corporation, Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, General Dynamics Mission Systems, Inc., Systems Planning and Analysis, Inc., and JRC Integrated Systems, LLC. These relationships reflect a reliance on industry leaders with deep expertise in nuclear systems integration, command and control architecture, and classified systems engineering. Her procurement approach emphasizes technical proficiency, performance-based contracting, and sustained collaboration with vendors possessing the necessary security clearances and DoD-specific certifications. There is no set-aside preference in her acquisition portfolio; all contracts are awarded under full and open competition. This reflects the highly specialized, classified, and mission-critical nature of the systems being procured, where only a limited number of contractors possess the required technical capabilities, infrastructure, and security clearances to perform the work. Her procurement activity is exclusively focused on NAICS 541330 — Engineering Services — with an emphasis on systems engineering and technical assistance (SETA), weapons integration, survivability analysis, and mission-critical software development for strategic deterrent platforms. She consistently sources advanced engineering expertise to support the design, testing, and sustainment of nuclear deterrent systems, requiring deep domain knowledge in naval strategic weapons, nuclear command and control, and secure communications infrastructure.
