Claudia Carvajal

Claudia C. Carvajal serves as a Contract Specialist at Naval Information Warfare Center Pacific (NIWC Pacific), where she plays a pivotal role in executing complex acquisition strategies for mission-critical defense technologies. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions, she ensures compliance with federal regulations while aligning contract awards with NIWC Pacific’s mandate to deliver advanced electronic warfare, communications, sensing, and command-and-control systems to the U.S. Navy fleet. Her acquisitions primarily support engineering services for integrated naval platforms, emphasizing technical rigor, schedule adherence, and operational readiness across maritime domains. Claudia maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including HAWKEYE 360, INC., Systems Engineering Support Co., VT MILCOM INC., Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, and L1 Enterprises Incorporated. These partnerships are characterized by long-term, performance-based engagements focused on systems integration, technical analysis, and sustainment of naval electronic systems. Her contracting approach prioritizes proven technical capability and past performance, fostering collaborative vendor relationships that ensure seamless delivery of mission-essential capabilities. Claudia’s procurement portfolio reflects a 100% non-set-aside orientation, with no use of 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic programs. This reflects NIWC Pacific’s operational imperative to source specialized engineering expertise from a limited pool of qualified industry partners with demonstrated experience in high-complexity defense systems, rather than socioeconomic categorization. Her primary focus is on NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), where she procures advanced technical services including system architecture design, signal processing, electronic integration, and real-time data fusion for naval platforms. Her expertise lies in acquiring mission-critical engineering support that enables the development and fielding of next-generation naval warfare systems, ensuring technological superiority in contested maritime environments.
