Elyce Hall

Elyce Hall supports the procurement mission of Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC) Division Newport by managing complex acquisitions in advanced maritime systems, with a focus on sensor technologies, electronic warfare components, and integrated communication architectures. While her formal title is not listed, her role centers on executing contract actions that align with the agency’s strategic imperatives in undersea, surface, and aerial domain dominance. She handles a diverse portfolio of research, development, testing, and evaluation contracts, ensuring that cutting-edge naval capabilities are fielded through compliant, timely, and technically sound procurement processes. Her work directly enables the Navy’s innovation pipeline in critical defense domains. Hall maintains consistent partnerships with leading defense and technology contractors including Science Applications International Corporation, Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, Astronics Test Systems Inc, Serco Inc, and Mikel Inc. These relationships reflect a balanced approach between established prime contractors with deep systems integration expertise and specialized firms delivering niche components for sonar, navigation, and test instrumentation. Her contracting patterns indicate a preference for collaborative, performance-based engagements that emphasize technical rigor, rapid prototyping, and lifecycle support for mission-critical systems. A strong commitment to socioeconomic diversity is evident in her procurement patterns, with over half of her awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to cultivate innovation through small business vendors, fostering competition and technological agility within the naval acquisition ecosystem. While no specific set-aside programs like 8(a) or HUBZone are dominant, the consistent use of small business set-asides underscores a proactive effort to expand vendor participation across the defense industrial base. Her technical focus centers on NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), 334511 (Navigation and Guidance System Manufacturing), and 513210 (Software Publishers), indicating deep engagement with embedded systems, signal processing software, and real-time data fusion architectures. She routinely procures specialized hardware and software solutions for sonar arrays, electronic countermeasures, and integrated command and control interfaces, demonstrating expertise in the intersection of naval engineering and commercial technology adaptation.
