David Shriner

David Shriner serves as a secondary procurement specialist within the Strategic Systems Programs (N00030), supporting the Department of the Navy’s critical mission to sustain and modernize the U.S. sea-based nuclear deterrent. Though not the lead contracting officer, he plays a vital role in executing complex systems engineering and technical services acquisitions, ensuring alignment with lifecycle management requirements for submarine-launched ballistic missiles and strategic weapons integration systems. His work centers on facilitating timely, compliant procurements that uphold operational readiness, security, and technical integrity across the nuclear deterrent enterprise. Shriner routinely collaborates with prime contractors including Lockheed Martin Corporation, Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, General Dynamics Mission Systems, Inc., Systems Planning and Analysis, Inc., and JRC Integrated Systems, LLC. These partnerships are characterized by long-term, high-stakes engagements involving systems integration, test and evaluation, and command, control, and communications infrastructure support. His procurement activities reflect a preference for established defense-industry partners with proven expertise in nuclear-grade systems engineering and secure mission-critical platforms. Shriner’s contracting portfolio exhibits no set-aside preferences, with 100% of acquisitions competed without socioeconomic restrictions. This reflects the highly specialized, national security-sensitive nature of the work, where technical capability and mission assurance take precedence over socioeconomic targeting. While small business participation is not formally prioritized, all procurements adhere strictly to full and open competition requirements under FAR Part 6. His primary focus lies in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), where he supports the acquisition of advanced systems engineering, analysis, integration, and test services essential to the sustainment of strategic deterrent systems. The technical domain demands deep expertise in nuclear weapons systems, secure communications architectures, and defense-grade systems engineering practices, making his role instrumental in maintaining the credibility and reliability of the nation’s strategic deterrent.
