Bonnie Stevens

Bonnie L. Stevens serves as a Contract Negotiator at NAVSEA’s Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC) Division Newport, where she plays a critical role in securing advanced maritime technologies essential to naval dominance. Her responsibilities include negotiating complex procurement agreements for sensor systems, electronic warfare components, and integrated communication platforms that support undersea, surface, and aerial operations. She works closely with technical stakeholders to align contract terms with mission-critical requirements, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while fostering innovation in naval systems development. Her portfolio centers on high-precision instrumentation, signal processing hardware, and mission-critical software integration for naval platforms. Stevens maintains longstanding partnerships with leading defense and aerospace contractors including Science Applications International Corporation, Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, Astronics Test Systems Inc, Serco Inc, and Mikel Inc. These relationships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven expertise in naval electronics, test equipment, and systems integration. She consistently engages these firms on technical solicitations requiring specialized engineering capabilities, often involving prototype development, ruggedized hardware qualification, and classified system delivery under strict security protocols. Her contracting activity shows a 100% preference for full and open competition, with no set-asides designated for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic categories. This reflects the highly technical nature of NUWC Newport’s requirements, where mission readiness and system interoperability take precedence over socioeconomic preferences, though small businesses are not excluded from participation. Stevens’ procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 334511 (navigation and guidance systems), 334220 and 334290 (wireless and communications equipment), and 334419 (electronic components), with additional support for engineering services under 541330. She specializes in acquiring sonar arrays, radar signal processors, secure data links, and embedded avionics—technologies critical to maintaining naval superiority in contested maritime environments.
