Jacquelyn Chamberlin

Jacquelyn B. Chamberlin serves as a Contract Specialist within the Strategic Systems Programs (N00030) under the Department of the Navy, where she plays a critical role in managing the acquisition lifecycle for the nation’s sea-based strategic deterrent systems. Her responsibilities encompass the full spectrum of contracting activities—from market research and solicitation development to award administration and contract closeout—for high-stakes, mission-critical defense programs. She specializes in complex systems engineering and integration procurements involving nuclear-capable submarine-launched ballistic missiles, strategic weapons integration, and secure command, control, and communications infrastructure, ensuring compliance with Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) and national security requirements. Chamberlin maintains longstanding procurement relationships with prime contractors including Lockheed Martin Corporation, Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, General Dynamics Mission Systems, Inc., Systems Planning and Analysis, Inc., and JRC Integrated Systems, LLC. These partnerships are typically structured as cost-reimbursement or fixed-price incentive contracts, reflecting the technical complexity and long-term nature of strategic systems development. Her approach emphasizes collaboration with industry leaders possessing deep domain expertise in guided missile systems and defense engineering, fostering innovation while maintaining rigorous oversight of technical performance and schedule adherence. Her contracting portfolio reflects a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with approximately 33% of awards designated for small business participation, including 22.2% as Total Small Business Set-Asides and 11.1% as Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides. While the majority of procurements remain open to all competitors, her consistent use of SDVOSB and small business set-asides demonstrates a deliberate effort to expand the industrial base and promote equitable access to national security contracting opportunities. Chamberlin’s primary focus lies in NAICS 336414 (Guided Missile and Space Vehicle Manufacturing) and 541330 (Engineering Services), reflecting her specialization in the design, development, and integration of advanced strategic weapons systems. She routinely procures technical services related to systems engineering, test and evaluation, hardware integration, and secure software development, supporting the Navy’s enduring mission to maintain a credible, reliable, and survivable sea-based nuclear deterrent.
