Gregory A. Wynne

Gregory A. Wynne serves as a Contracting Officer at the Naval Oceanographic Office (NAVOCEANO), where he manages complex acquisitions critical to sustaining maritime domain awareness and undersea warfare capabilities. He oversees the procurement of advanced oceanographic sensing systems, geospatial data platforms, and mission-critical instrumentation that enable real-time environmental modeling and naval operational effectiveness. His portfolio centers on high-technology systems requiring rigorous technical validation, including navigation sensors, seabed mapping equipment, and satellite-enabled communication architectures. Wynne ensures all procurements align with DoD acquisition regulations and NAVOCEANO’s strategic imperatives in oceanographic intelligence delivery. Wynne cultivates partnerships with specialized defense contractors and technology innovators capable of delivering ruggedized, high-precision instrumentation and integrated data systems. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he routinely engages firms with proven expertise in naval sensor integration, underwater acoustics, and real-time environmental data processing. His contracting approach emphasizes technical compliance, performance-based outcomes, and vendor accountability, fostering long-term relationships with suppliers who can meet the Navy’s demanding operational environments. Wynne’s set-aside preferences reflect a targeted commitment to small business participation, with HUBZone set-asides accounting for 12.5% of his awards and the majority of procurements conducted under full and open competition. This pattern demonstrates a balanced approach—prioritizing mission readiness while actively supporting economically disadvantaged geographic areas through HUBZone certifications. He does not routinely utilize 8(a) or SDVOSB set-asides, instead favoring technical capability and operational readiness as primary selection criteria. His primary NAICS focus includes Search, Detection, Navigation, and Nautical Instrument Manufacturing (334511), Satellite Telecommunications (517410), and miscellaneous electrical equipment manufacturing (335999). He procures specialized hardware such as underwater acoustic arrays, satellite ground terminals, embedded computing systems, and seabed survey sensors—all engineered for deployment in austere maritime conditions. Wynne’s expertise lies at the intersection of defense electronics, geospatial intelligence, and oceanographic systems procurement.
