Brittany Burton

Brittany Burton serves as a key procurement professional within Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA HQ), supporting the acquisition and lifecycle management of mission-critical naval systems and support infrastructure. Operating under the Department of the Navy, she plays a central role in executing contracts that sustain fleet readiness and enable technological advancement across surface and undersea platforms. Her responsibilities include managing complex, high-stakes acquisitions for specialized engineering services, shipyard support, and integrated naval electronics, ensuring alignment with NAVSEA’s strategic goals of modernization and operational superiority. She typically handles full-and-open, non-set-aside procurements requiring technical rigor and stringent compliance with naval acquisition regulations. Burton maintains established working relationships with major defense contractors including Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, Huntington Ingalls Incorporated, and Damen Shipbuilding & Cooperation B.V., reflecting her focus on large-scale, integrated shipbuilding and systems integration efforts. She also collaborates with specialized technical firms such as G.S.E. Dynamics, Inc. and Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, indicating a pattern of partnering with vendors possessing deep expertise in naval electronics, propulsion systems, and mission-critical support services. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and long-term vendor collaboration to ensure technical fidelity and operational continuity. Her contracting activity is exclusively classified as non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on technical capability and industrial capacity over socioeconomic set-asides, aligning with NAVSEA’s mission to prioritize performance and readiness in high-consequence defense programs. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her portfolio, she consistently evaluates vendor qualifications based on technical merit, past performance, and systems integration experience. Burton’s procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 488490—Other Support Activities for Road Transportation—indicating a specialized need for logistical, maintenance, and transport-related support services critical to naval base operations and shipyard infrastructure. Though seemingly incongruent with naval systems, this classification likely captures specialized movement, handling, and transport of heavy naval components, underscoring her domain expertise in the intersection of maritime logistics and defense industrial base operations.
