Christina Sherron

Christina Sherron serves as a key procurement professional within Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC) Division Newport, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to advance maritime warfare capabilities through the acquisition of cutting-edge sensor, navigation, and electronic warfare systems. She manages complex contracts for research, development, testing, and evaluation of advanced undersea, surface, and aerial technologies, ensuring alignment with naval operational requirements. Her acquisitions primarily involve high-precision instrumentation, integrated communication architectures, and mission-critical subsystems essential for naval dominance across contested domains. Sherron maintains consistent working relationships 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 partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven expertise in naval systems integration, test equipment, and specialized engineering services. Her contracting approach emphasizes technical rigor, performance-based outcomes, and long-term vendor collaboration to sustain mission-readiness and technological superiority. Her procurement patterns show a strong orientation toward open competition, with 72.7% of awards issued without set-aside designations, while 27.3% are structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This balance reflects a strategic commitment to fostering innovation from small businesses without compromising access to specialized capabilities only available from larger, experienced contractors. She actively supports socioeconomic goals by enabling small business participation where technical requirements permit. Sherron’s primary focus lies in NAICS 334511 for search, detection, and navigation systems, and 334515 for electrical signal measurement instrumentation, underscoring her expertise in acquiring advanced sonar, radar, and electronic countermeasure technologies. She also procures engineering services (541330) and precision machine shop components (332710), demonstrating deep technical fluency in naval electronics, signal processing, and hardware fabrication critical to undersea warfare systems.
