Jennifer A Iribe

Jennifer A. Iribe serves as a Contract Specialist at Naval Information Warfare Center Pacific (NIWC Pacific), where she plays a critical role in executing complex acquisitions for mission-critical naval systems. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of contracts—from solicitation and evaluation to award and closeout—she supports the agency’s mission to deliver advanced electronic warfare, communications, sensing, and command-and-control capabilities to the U.S. Navy fleet. Her portfolio primarily encompasses engineering services, specialized instrumentation, and integrated technology solutions that enhance maritime domain awareness and operational readiness. Iribe’s expertise lies in navigating the unique compliance and technical requirements of defense acquisitions under FAR and DFARS frameworks. She maintains consistent working relationships with key industry partners including Hawkeye 360, Inc., Systems Engineering Support Co., VT Milcom Inc., Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, and L1 Enterprises Incorporated. These contractors provide specialized expertise in signal processing, RF systems, embedded software, and secure communications infrastructure. Iribe fosters collaborative, performance-driven partnerships with vendors who demonstrate technical proficiency and reliability in delivering high-integrity systems under stringent military standards. While the majority of her acquisitions are unrestricted, Iribe actively supports small business participation through a consistent 20% allocation to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. Her contracting patterns reflect a deliberate commitment to expanding opportunities for small businesses without compromising technical rigor or mission needs. Her procurement focus centers on NAICS 332311 for prefabricated metal components used in ruggedized enclosures, 334515 for precision test and measurement instrumentation, 541310 for architectural and structural design services supporting facility integration, and 541512 for computer systems design supporting naval C4ISR architectures. This blend of engineering, manufacturing, and IT services underscores her technical acumen in acquiring systems that bridge physical infrastructure with advanced digital capabilities.
