Andrea Longo

Andrea Longo serves as a key procurement professional within Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA HQ), supporting the acquisition and lifecycle management of advanced naval systems critical to fleet readiness and technological superiority. Responsible for managing complex contracts in the domain of nautical and aerospace instrumentation, Longo oversees the procurement of mission-critical sensors, navigation systems, guidance technologies, and integrated combat systems for surface and undersea platforms. Their work directly enables NAVSEA’s strategic mission to modernize the U.S. Navy’s warfighting capabilities through cutting-edge electronic and systems integration, ensuring compliance with defense acquisition regulations and operational requirements. Longo maintains established working relationships with leading defense contractors including Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, Huntington Ingalls Incorporated, and Damen Shipbuilding & Cooperation B.V., partnering with prime contractors capable of delivering high-assurance, systems-engineered solutions for naval platforms. These relationships are characterized by long-term collaboration on integrated system development, with an emphasis on performance-based contracting, technical risk mitigation, and seamless interoperability across naval domains. Additional partners such as G.S.E. Dynamics, Inc. and Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC support specialized subsystems and niche technological capabilities. There is no preference for socioeconomic set-asides; all procurements are conducted as full and open competition, reflecting a strategic focus on technical excellence and industrial capacity over socioeconomic categorization. This approach prioritizes mission-critical performance, proven system integration expertise, and industrial scalability over small business participation mandates. The primary procurement focus is centered on NAICS 334511, encompassing the acquisition of search, detection, navigation, guidance, and nautical systems and instruments. Longo specializes in procuring advanced radar, sonar, electronic warfare suites, inertial navigation units, and integrated combat management systems—technologies essential to maintaining naval dominance in contested maritime environments.
