Dan Seaman

Dan Seaman serves as a key procurement professional at Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division (N00164), where he supports the acquisition of advanced electronic, electro-optical, and ordnance systems critical to naval warfare readiness. His responsibilities encompass managing complex contract vehicles for research, development, testing, and sustainment of precision sensing, signal processing, and electronic warfare technologies. He routinely handles high-technical-acquisition programs involving classified and unclassified defense systems, ensuring alignment with Department of the Navy modernization priorities and operational requirements for surface and expeditionary forces. Seaman maintains consistent contracting relationships with leading defense contractors including Lockheed Martin Corporation, Programs Management Analytics & Technologies Inc., and Integrity Defense Services Inc., alongside specialized suppliers such as Black Hills Ammunition Inc. and McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC. His procurement patterns reflect a preference for established industry partners with proven capabilities in electronics manufacturing, explosives systems, and mission-critical infrastructure support, often leveraging indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) and cost-reimbursement contract types to accommodate evolving technical and operational demands. Seaman’s acquisition portfolio exhibits no set-aside preferences, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on technical superiority and rapid capability insertion over socioeconomic set-asides, indicating a mission-driven procurement approach prioritizing performance, readiness, and system interoperability above socioeconomic classifications. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334419 (Other Electronic Component Manufacturing), supporting the development of advanced circuitry, sensors, and signal conditioning modules. He also routinely procures systems under NAICS 334511 (navigation and guidance instruments) and 325920 (explosives manufacturing), demonstrating deep expertise in electro-optical systems, radar components, and ordnance sustainment. His technical domain spans electronic warfare, signal intelligence, and weapons system integration, aligning closely with Crane’s mission to deliver next-generation naval combat capabilities.
