Bailee Wilson

Bailee Wilson serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division (N00164), supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to develop, test, and sustain advanced electronic, electro-optical, and ordnance systems for naval warfare. Responsible for managing complex acquisitions in technical domains critical to electronic warfare, signal processing, and precision sensing, Wilson ensures timely delivery of mission-critical capabilities to surface and expeditionary forces. Their procurement activities center on high-performance systems requiring rigorous engineering validation, including radar, communications, and directed energy components, often under time-sensitive operational timelines. Wilson maintains consistent working relationships with leading defense contractors including Lockheed Martin Corporation, Programs Management Analytics & Technologies Inc., and Black Hills Ammunition Inc., reflecting a preference for established industry partners with proven expertise in military-grade electronics and ordnance systems. These partnerships are typically structured around indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts, firm-fixed-price task orders, and other performance-based acquisition vehicles that emphasize technical rigor, supply chain resilience, and rapid prototyping. The working relationship pattern is characterized by long-term collaboration with vendors capable of supporting end-to-end system integration and sustainment. Wilson’s procurement portfolio reflects no set-aside preferences, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This indicates a strategic focus on technical capability and mission readiness over socioeconomic targeting, prioritizing performance, scalability, and readiness over small business set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. The primary NAICS focus areas are 334511 for search, detection, navigation, and guidance systems and 334419 for other electronic component manufacturing. Wilson specializes in procuring advanced sensors, signal processors, electronic warfare suites, and ruggedized components used in naval combat systems, demonstrating deep technical fluency in electro-optical architectures and military electronics supply chains.
