Haiyan Li

Haiyan Li supports the Naval Surface Warfare Center’s mission to advance naval warfare capabilities through the procurement of specialized engineering services critical to the development and sustainment of advanced sensors, communications, and electronic systems for surface ships and maritime platforms. As a key procurement professional within N61331, Li manages the acquisition lifecycle for technical contracts focused on signal processing, sonar and radar modernization, and precision instrumentation, ensuring alignment with fleet readiness objectives and undersea dominance priorities. Their work directly enables the integration of cutting-edge electronic warfare and navigation technologies into naval platforms, bridging technical requirements with contractual execution to support operational superiority. Li maintains consistent contracting relationships with a select group of engineering-focused contractors, including ISPA TECHNOLOGY LLC, FIVE RIVERS ANALYTICS, LLC, BAUER COMPRESSORS, INC., and COUNTERTRADE PRODUCTS, INC., all of which provide specialized technical expertise in electronic systems, data analytics, and mission-critical hardware. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in defense-grade engineering, signal integrity, and systems integration, indicating a focus on reliability, technical depth, and compliance with military specifications rather than broad vendor diversity. There is no preference for socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of procurements conducted under full and open competition. This reflects a mission-driven prioritization of technical capability and schedule certainty over socioeconomic contracting mechanisms, aligning with the urgent modernization timelines of naval electronic systems. The agency’s procurement activity is entirely concentrated under NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), underscoring a singular focus on high-specialization technical services. Li’s portfolio centers on systems engineering, electronic design, test and evaluation, and embedded software development for naval platforms, demonstrating deep domain expertise in defense electronics, sensor fusion, and maritime signal processing.
