Elizabeth Wilfong

Elizabeth Wilfong serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren Division (NSWC Dahlgren), supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to advance integrated warfighting capabilities through research, development, test, and evaluation of advanced sensors, command and control systems, electronic warfare platforms, and embedded computing technologies. She manages a portfolio of engineering services contracts critical to modernizing naval combat systems, ensuring technical solutions align with operational requirements for surface ships and networked battle environments. Her acquisitions focus on mission-critical R&D and systems integration, requiring deep technical oversight and compliance with defense acquisition regulations. Wilfong maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of contractors including TEX-TECH ENGINEERED COMPOSITES, LLC, TATITLEK GOVERNMENT SERVICES, INC., 3DB LABS INC, WASTE REMOVAL USA, LLC, and BOWHEAD PROGRAM MANAGEMENT & OPERATIONS, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven expertise in advanced materials, systems engineering, rapid prototyping, and program management support. Her contracting patterns indicate a reliance on long-term, performance-based engagements rather than transactional procurement, fostering stability in complex technical programs. Her procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on technical merit and capability over socioeconomic preferences, prioritizing mission readiness and system performance above socioeconomic targeting. The sole NAICS classification dominating her portfolio is 541330 (Engineering Services), underscoring her specialization in technical engineering support for naval systems. She procures services including systems architecture, signal processing, embedded software development, and electronic warfare integration, requiring contractors with deep domain expertise in defense electronics, communications networks, and combat system modernization.
