Jaclyn Murray

Jaclyn Murray supports the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division (N00164), in executing critical procurement activities for advanced electronic, electro-optical, and ordnance systems essential to naval warfare readiness. She plays a pivotal role in acquiring specialized equipment and technical services that enable precision sensing, signal processing, and electronic warfare modernization for surface and expeditionary forces. Her procurement portfolio centers on maintaining and upgrading mission-critical defense technologies, ensuring operational continuity through rigorous contract management and technical oversight aligned with Department of the Navy strategic priorities. Murray maintains consistent contracting relationships with key industry partners including Lockheed Martin Corporation, Programs Management Analytics & Technologies Inc., Integrity Defense Services Inc., and Black Hills Ammunition Inc., reflecting a blend of large defense primes and niche technical service providers. Her working relationships emphasize long-term technical collaboration, particularly with firms experienced in electronic system sustainment, ordnance supply, and defense-specific logistics. She also engages with specialized construction and site development contractors to support infrastructure needs for testing and integration facilities. Her contracting approach prioritizes open competition, with 76.9% of awards issued without set-aside designation, while maintaining a meaningful 23.1% commitment to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This balance reflects a strategic focus on leveraging commercial innovation while ensuring small business participation in high-technical domains. She does not routinely favor 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, instead favoring broad-based small business eligibility under general small business categories. Murray’s procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 811210 (electronic and precision equipment repair and maintenance) and 334515 (instrument manufacturing for measuring electrical signals), underscoring deep expertise in sustaining and procuring electronic test equipment, signal conditioning hardware, and passive components such as capacitors and relays. Her domain expertise lies in the lifecycle management of electro-optical and electronic warfare systems, requiring precise technical specifications and rigorous compliance with military standards.
