Jennifer Nolting

Jennifer Nolting serves as a key procurement professional at Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division (N00164), where she manages complex acquisitions supporting the development, testing, and sustainment of advanced electronic, electro-optical, and ordnance systems critical to naval warfare readiness. Her work directly enables mission-critical capabilities in electronic warfare, signal intelligence, radar detection, and precision targeting systems. Nolting typically handles high-technical-contracting actions involving specialized manufacturing, analytical instrumentation, and precision machining services, ensuring alignment with Navy modernization priorities and defense technology roadmaps. She maintains consistent working relationships with leading defense contractors including Lockheed Martin Corporation, Programs Management Analytics & Technologies Inc., and Integrity Defense Services Inc., alongside specialized industrial partners such as Black Hills Ammunition Inc. and McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC. These partnerships reflect a focus on integrated systems development, technical support services, and facility infrastructure necessary to sustain advanced testing environments. Nolting’s contracting approach emphasizes technical proficiency, performance-based outcomes, and long-term vendor collaboration to meet rigorous military standards. Nolting’s procurement portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on accessing the broadest possible pool of technical expertise and industrial capacity, prioritizing capability over socioeconomic categorization. While small business participation is not formally incentivized through set-asides, vendors of all sizes are evaluated equally on technical merit, past performance, and systems integration readiness. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 335991 (Carbon and Graphite Product Manufacturing), 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing), and 332710 (Machine Shops), underscoring deep expertise in sourcing high-performance materials, precision test equipment, and custom machined components for classified and unclassified defense systems. Nolting’s domain knowledge spans materials science, electronic warfare subsystems, and laboratory instrumentation critical to naval ordnance and sensor development.
