Jeremy Sebastian serves as a Contract Specialist at Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC) Division Newport, where he plays a critical role in executing complex procurements aligned with the Department of the Navy’s mission to advance undersea, surface, and aerial warfare capabilities. He manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions for advanced maritime systems, with a primary focus on engineering services, electronic warfare components, sensor technologies, and integrated communication systems essential for naval dominance. His work ensures timely delivery of mission-critical capabilities through compliant, risk-managed contracting practices that support rapid prototyping, testing, and fielding of next-generation naval platforms. Jeremy maintains established working relationships with leading defense and technology contractors including Science Applications International Corporation, Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, Astronics Test Systems Inc, Serco Inc, and Mikel Inc. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in naval systems integration, test and evaluation infrastructure, and high-reliability electronics manufacturing. His contracting approach emphasizes technical alignment, past performance validation, and performance-based outcomes to ensure mission readiness and operational effectiveness. While the majority of his acquisitions are conducted as unrestricted competitions, Jeremy consistently supports small business participation, with approximately 25% of his portfolio designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. He actively facilitates opportunities for qualified small businesses to contribute to high-impact naval programs, reinforcing the agency’s commitment to a diverse and resilient supplier base without compromising technical rigor. His procurement focus centers on NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), which accounts for half of his portfolio, alongside significant activity in 334210 (Telephone Apparatus Manufacturing) and 511210 (Software Publishers). These reflect deep expertise in acquiring specialized signal processing systems, embedded communications hardware, and mission-critical software solutions that enable advanced sonar, navigation, and electronic warfare capabilities for the fleet.
