Jacie Liu

Jacie Liu serves as a procurement professional within the Department of the Navy, supporting the acquisition of mission-critical instrumentation, semiconductor components, and engineered systems essential to naval readiness and operational superiority. She manages complex contracts for analytical laboratory equipment, fleet diagnostics tools, and cyber-resilient sensor networks, ensuring alignment with the Navy’s modernization priorities in maritime surveillance and weapons system sustainment. Her work directly enables the deployment of high-precision hardware and software solutions that underpin fleet maintenance, environmental monitoring, and combat systems integration. Liu maintains strategic relationships with prime defense contractors including RTX Corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation, Electric Boat Corporation, Huntington Ingalls Inc., and Bath Iron Works Corporation, engaging them on large-scale, technically demanding procurements for naval platforms and support infrastructure. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based specifications, systems integration, and lifecycle support, often coordinating with engineering and logistics teams to ensure contractor deliverables meet rigorous military standards for reliability and interoperability. While the majority of her acquisitions are conducted under full and open competition, she demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with nearly half of her portfolio allocated to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. She regularly structures opportunities for 8(a) certified firms, reflecting a deliberate effort to broaden vendor diversity while maintaining technical rigor in high-stakes acquisitions. Her procurement focus centers on NAICS categories including 315990 (apparel accessories manufacturing), 531120 (nonresidential building lessors), and 339992 (musical instrument manufacturing)—categories that, while seemingly atypical, reflect niche support needs such as specialized enclosures, acoustic dampening systems, and custom-fabricated components for sensor housings and training simulators. Her expertise lies in translating operational requirements into precise technical specifications for non-traditional but mission-essential supply chains.
