Calli Wininger

Calli Wininger 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. She manages a portfolio of acquisitions focused on mission-critical technologies including signal processing, electronic warfare suites, radar detection platforms, and ordnance integration, ensuring alignment with strategic modernization priorities for surface and expeditionary forces. Her work spans the full acquisition lifecycle, from requirements validation through contract award and administration, with a strong emphasis on technical compliance and operational readiness. Wininger maintains established working relationships with principal contractors including Lockheed Martin Corporation, Programs Management Analytics & Technologies Inc., and Black Hills Ammunition Inc., reflecting a consistent reliance on industry leaders with proven expertise in defense electronics and munitions systems. She also collaborates with specialized vendors such as Integrity Defense Services Inc. and McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC to support infrastructure and technical services. Her contracting patterns indicate a preference for established defense contractors with deep domain knowledge in naval systems integration, often leveraging Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) and Other Transaction Authority (OTA) mechanisms to accelerate capability delivery. While the majority of her acquisitions—87.5%—are conducted without set-asides, she maintains a consistent 12.5% commitment to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a balanced approach to leveraging small business innovation without compromising mission-critical performance requirements. Her socioeconomic contracting patterns prioritize broad-based small business participation over narrow socioeconomically targeted programs. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), reflecting extensive engagement with naval platform integration and survivability systems. Secondary emphasis on NAICS 334511 (Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical Systems) underscores her technical expertise in advanced sensing and electronic systems, while NAICS 493110 (General Warehousing and Storage) supports logistics and ordnance storage infrastructure critical to expeditionary operations.
