Jason Lee

Jason Lee serves as a key procurement professional within Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA HQ), supporting the acquisition and lifecycle management of naval vessels and mission-critical maritime systems. He plays a central role in executing complex contract actions aligned with NAVSEA’s mission to sustain and modernize the U.S. Navy’s fleet, with a focus on shipbuilding, repair, and integrated combat systems. His responsibilities include managing full lifecycle contracting for large-scale naval platforms, ensuring compliance with defense acquisition regulations, and facilitating the integration of advanced naval electronics and propulsion technologies. His portfolio primarily encompasses major ship construction and modernization initiatives critical to fleet readiness and technological superiority. Lee maintains consistent contracting relationships with leading defense prime contractors 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 strategic emphasis on long-term collaboration with experienced shipbuilders and systems integrators capable of delivering complex, high-assurance naval platforms under stringent military specifications. His contracting approach prioritizes performance-based outcomes, technical rigor, and industrial base stability, often involving multi-year, multi-phase procurement strategies for new construction and mid-life upgrades. Lee’s contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a deliberate alignment with NAVSEA’s mission-critical requirements, where specialized shipbuilding expertise and proven industrial capacity outweigh socioeconomic set-aside criteria. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in his portfolio, the structure of his contracts often enables subcontracting opportunities for tiered suppliers. His procurement focus is exclusively centered on NAICS 336611—Ship Building and Repairing—encompassing the design, fabrication, outfitting, and modernization of surface and undersea vessels. He specializes in procuring integrated combat systems, propulsion machinery, hull structures, and naval electronics, requiring deep technical understanding of naval architecture, marine engineering, and defense standards.
