Jeannele Macey

Jeannele Macey serves as a key procurement lead within Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA HQ), supporting the acquisition and lifecycle management of mission-critical naval systems under the Department of Defense. She specializes in contracting for advanced ordnance systems and electronic combat technologies, ensuring the Navy’s fleet remains equipped with cutting-edge, interoperable capabilities. Her work directly enables the modernization of surface and undersea platforms, with a focus on securing reliable supply chains for high-integrity components critical to naval readiness and technological superiority. Macey maintains strategic relationships with prime contractors including Damen Shipbuilding & Cooperation B.V., Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, Huntington Ingalls Incorporated, G.S.E. Dynamics, Inc., and Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC. These partnerships reflect a balanced approach to sourcing—engaging large defense primes for complex integrated systems while collaborating with specialized vendors for niche ordnance and electronics components. Her contracting patterns emphasize performance-based requirements, technical rigor, and long-term sustainment support, aligning with NAVSEA’s mission to deliver robust, combat-ready platforms. Her procurement portfolio demonstrates a strong preference for open competition, with 75% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions, reflecting the technical complexity and scale of requirements. Nevertheless, she consistently allocates 25% of opportunities to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, fostering innovation and capacity-building among qualified small vendors in defense manufacturing. Macey’s primary NAICS focus lies in 332994 (Small Arms, Ordnance, and Ordnance Accessories Manufacturing) and 334111 (Electronic Computer Manufacturing), underscoring her expertise in procuring precision munitions, combat electronics, guidance systems, and embedded computing hardware. Her domain knowledge spans naval weapons integration, electronic warfare systems, and mission-critical avionics, ensuring acquisitions meet stringent military specifications and interoperability standards across the fleet.
