Jessica Anderson

Jessica serves as a procurement specialist at Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division (N00164), supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to develop, test, and sustain advanced electronic, electro-optical, and ordnance systems for naval warfare. She manages acquisitions critical to precision sensing, signal processing, communications, and electronic warfare modernization, ensuring timely delivery of mission-critical technologies for surface and expeditionary forces. Her portfolio encompasses complex engineering services, specialized instrumentation, and defense-grade manufacturing contracts aligned with the Navy’s strategic priorities in radar, signal intelligence, and directed energy systems. Jessica maintains consistent working relationships with key industry partners including Lockheed Martin Corporation, Programs Management Analytics & Technologies Inc., Integrity Defense Services Inc., Black Hills Ammunition Inc., and McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC. These partnerships reflect a focus on high-technology defense contractors capable of delivering ruggedized electronic systems, mission-specific ordnance, and specialized construction services for secure testing facilities. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical compliance with military standards, and long-term sustainment support for deployed systems. Jessica’s procurement activity is exclusively non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on accessing the broadest possible industrial base to meet stringent technical requirements, rather than socioeconomic set-asides. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her award structure, she ensures all solicitations are clearly scoped to allow qualified small firms to compete on technical merit. Her primary NAICS focus areas include 334511 for search and navigation systems, 334515 for electrical signal instrumentation, 334220 for wireless communications equipment, and 332710 for precision machine shop services. She routinely procures radar components, electronic warfare suites, test and calibration instruments, and hardened ordnance systems, demonstrating deep expertise in defense electronics manufacturing and systems integration for naval applications.
