Jeremy Russell

Jeremy Russell serves as a key procurement professional within Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division Newport, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to advance naval warfare capabilities through cutting-edge research and development. He manages complex acquisitions in sensor systems, electronic warfare components, and integrated communication technologies critical to undersea, surface, and aerial domain superiority. His portfolio centers on R&D contracts that enable the testing, evaluation, and fielding of next-generation maritime systems, ensuring operational readiness through innovation. Russell’s work directly supports the agency’s technical modernization goals by aligning contracting strategy with engineering and scientific priorities. He maintains longstanding relationships with leading defense technology providers including Science Applications International Corporation, Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, Astronics Test Systems Inc, Serco Inc, and Mikel Inc. These partnerships reflect a preference for established contractors with proven expertise in naval systems integration, signal processing, and test instrumentation. Russell’s contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical rigor, and lifecycle support, fostering collaborative engagements that bridge R&D milestones with operational deployment timelines. Russell’s procurement activity shows no reliance on socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on technical capability over socioeconomic classification, prioritizing mission-critical performance and specialized expertise in high-stakes naval domains. While small business participation is not formally incentivized through set-asides, vendor selection remains driven by technical merit, past performance, and domain-specific experience. His primary focus is on NAICS 541712—Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences—encompassing advanced sonar arrays, navigation instrumentation, electronic countermeasures, and underwater communication protocols. He consistently procures services and systems requiring deep engineering specialization, including signal analysis, sensor calibration, and embedded systems development, ensuring naval platforms maintain technological superiority in contested maritime environments.
