Jaclyn Evans

Jaclyn Evans serves as a key procurement professional within Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to sustain and modernize the U.S. fleet through strategic acquisition of naval vessels and mission-critical systems. She manages complex contracting actions aligned with shipbuilding and repair lifecycle requirements, overseeing the acquisition of integrated naval platforms, propulsion systems, combat electronics, and structural components essential to fleet readiness. Her work directly enables the design, construction, and maintenance of next-generation warships, ensuring technological superiority across surface and undersea domains. Evans maintains consistent working relationships with industry leaders including Huntington Ingalls Incorporated, Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, Damen Shipbuilding & Cooperation B.V., G.S.E. Dynamics, Inc., and Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC. These partnerships reflect a focus on prime contractors with proven capabilities in naval architecture, systems integration, and shipyard modernization. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, risk mitigation, and long-term sustainment planning, fostering collaborative engagements with vendors capable of delivering high-complexity, defense-grade solutions under stringent naval standards. Her procurement portfolio is exclusively focused on non-set-aside contracts, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic alignment with NAVSEA’s priority to leverage the broadest industrial base for mission-critical capabilities, prioritizing technical merit and operational readiness over socioeconomic set-asides. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in her portfolio, she ensures compliance with all federal acquisition regulations and maintains transparency in source selection. Evans specializes in NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), procuring end-to-end naval vessel systems including hull structures, propulsion trains, combat management systems, and repair infrastructure. Her technical expertise spans naval engineering, shipyard logistics, and integrated systems procurement, with deep familiarity in Navy-specific requirements for survivability, electromagnetic compatibility, and lifecycle support. She operates at the intersection of defense industrial capacity and maritime operational needs, ensuring acquisition decisions directly enhance fleet combat effectiveness.
