Alizabeth J. Lee serves as a Contract Specialist at the Naval Oceanographic Office (N62306), where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions that support oceanographic intelligence, maritime domain awareness, and undersea warfare capabilities. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts for advanced sensing systems, geospatial data platforms, and environmental modeling technologies, ensuring alignment with the Navy’s strategic imperatives for real-time environmental intelligence. Her work directly enables safe navigation, anti-submarine operations, and undersea surveillance by securing specialized instrumentation and data processing solutions critical to naval operations. Lee’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 87.5% of her acquisitions conducted without set-asides, indicating a focus on technical excellence and broad market engagement. However, she maintains a consistent commitment to small business participation, with 12.5% of her awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, fostering innovation from niche vendors with specialized expertise in oceanographic instrumentation and geospatial analytics. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334511 (nautical and navigation systems manufacturing) and 511210 (software publishers), underscoring her specialization in high-precision sensors, underwater detection systems, and environmental data analytics platforms. She frequently procures advanced sonar arrays, seabed mapping instruments, and real-time ocean modeling software, working closely with manufacturers of industrial control systems and satellite-enabled telecommunications equipment. Her technical acumen spans hydrographic survey systems, autonomous underwater vehicle telemetry, and integrated command and control interfaces, positioning her as a key enabler of the Navy’s next-generation oceanographic infrastructure.
