Janel Duval serves as a key procurement professional within Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA HQ), supporting the acquisition and lifecycle management of mission-critical naval systems essential to fleet readiness and technological superiority. She specializes in the procurement of advanced maritime electronics, including search, detection, navigation, guidance, and nautical instrumentation systems, ensuring alignment with the Navy’s strategic imperatives for undersea and surface warfare capabilities. Her role involves end-to-end contract execution for complex, high-technology platforms, working closely with engineering and program management teams to translate operational requirements into compliant, performance-based solicitations and awards. Duval maintains established relationships with leading defense and aerospace contractors, including Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, Huntington Ingalls Incorporated, and Damen Shipbuilding & Cooperation B.V., reflecting a preference for Tier-1 prime contractors with proven expertise in naval platform integration. Her contracting patterns consistently involve large-scale, systems-level acquisitions requiring rigorous technical validation, cybersecurity compliance, and lifecycle sustainment support. She also engages with specialized technology providers such as G.S.E. Dynamics, Inc. and Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, fostering partnerships that deliver cutting-edge sensor, navigation, and control systems critical to modern warships. Duval’s procurement portfolio reflects a strict focus on full and open competition, with 100% of awards issued under no set-aside conditions. This underscores a strategic emphasis on leveraging the broadest possible industrial base to meet urgent operational needs, rather than socioeconomic set-asides. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her award patterns, her approach ensures competitive fairness and technical rigor across all solicitations. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334511, encompassing the acquisition of advanced nautical and aeronautical systems, including radar, sonar, electronic warfare suites, and integrated combat systems. She specializes in procuring high-reliability, military-specification electronics designed for harsh maritime environments, demonstrating deep technical fluency in naval sensor fusion, signal processing, and systems integration.
