Dayna Erickson serves as a secondary contracting professional within Naval Information Warfare Systems (N00039), supporting the acquisition of advanced information warfare systems critical to naval dominance in the electromagnetic spectrum. She contributes to the end-to-end procurement lifecycle for secure communications, cyber-enabled networks, and tactical data systems, ensuring alignment with the Department of the Navy’s strategic modernization goals. Her role involves coordinating contract actions for complex technology integrations, from edge computing devices to command and control architectures, often working in tandem with senior contracting officers to deliver mission-critical capabilities on schedule and within regulatory compliance. Erickson maintains consistent procurement relationships with leading defense technology contractors including Raytheon Company, Science Applications International Corporation, Intecon LLC, ITC Defense Corp, and Advanced Technology Systems Company, Inc. of Virginia. These partnerships reflect a reliance on established industry leaders with proven expertise in radio frequency systems, signal processing, and secure networking technologies. Her contracting patterns indicate a preference for mature, high-capacity vendors capable of delivering integrated, classified, and ruggedized systems under stringent military standards, with a focus on sustained sustainment and lifecycle support. Erickson’s acquisition portfolio exhibits no set-aside preferences, with 100% of her awarded contracts issued under full and open competition. This reflects a mission-driven prioritization of technical capability and operational readiness over socioeconomic set-asides, aligning with the high-stakes, time-sensitive nature of information warfare procurements. While small business participation is not formally targeted in her portfolio, she ensures all contracts adhere to federal acquisition regulations and maintain transparency in source selection. Her primary procurement focus is centered on NAICS 334220—Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing—encompassing secure tactical radios, software-defined radios, electronic warfare payloads, and encrypted data link systems. She specializes in acquiring next-generation electromagnetic spectrum capabilities that enable real-time situational awareness and resilient communications across contested environments.
