Brittni Harvey

Brittni Harvey supports critical procurement operations at NAVY NUWC Division Newport, contributing to the agency’s mission of advancing naval warfare capabilities through the acquisition of advanced maritime systems. She manages complex contracts for sensor, navigation, and electronic warfare technologies essential to undersea, surface, and aerial domain superiority. Her work centers on securing high-performance instrumentation, integrated communication platforms, and mission-critical electronics that enable next-generation naval operations. She operates within a highly technical acquisition environment requiring deep domain knowledge of defense systems and rigorous compliance with federal contracting standards. Harvey maintains consistent 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 systems integration, test equipment, and mission-specific electronics. Her contracting patterns suggest a focus on long-term vendor collaboration, leveraging proven technical capabilities to meet evolving operational requirements without frequent contractor turnover. Her procurement approach is predominantly open competition, with 90% of awards issued without set-aside designations, indicating a strong emphasis on technical merit and capability over socioeconomic preferences. However, she maintains a deliberate 10% allocation to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured commitment to small business participation while prioritizing mission readiness and system performance. Harvey’s acquisitions are heavily concentrated in NAICS 334511 for search, detection, and navigation systems, and 511210 for software publishing supporting defense applications. She frequently procures precision measuring devices, sonar components, electronic warfare subsystems, and integrated avionics, reflecting deep expertise in naval sensor technologies and mission-critical instrumentation. Her work directly enables the development and fielding of advanced systems that sustain U.S. naval dominance across multi-domain operational environments.
