Jesusa G. Labial

Jesusa G. Labial supports the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock (N00167) in executing critical procurement activities aligned with the Department of the Navy’s mission to advance maritime warfare capabilities. Though her formal title is not specified, her procurement role centers on managing acquisitions for advanced engineering services, precision manufacturing, and specialized technical systems that enhance naval vessel performance, signature management, and sensor integration. She facilitates the acquisition of mission-critical solutions in hydrodynamics, propulsion efficiency, and environmental control systems, ensuring alignment with naval technical requirements and acquisition regulations. Labial maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of high-capability contractors, including BAE Systems Land & Armaments L.P., Goodrich Corp, and Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, reflecting a preference for established defense industry partners with proven expertise in naval systems. She also engages specialized joint ventures such as CB Design & Huitt Zollars and niche technical firms like Westmoreland Mechanical Testing & Research, indicating a strategic focus on firms capable of delivering complex, low-volume, high-precision components and testing services essential to shipboard systems development. Her contracting patterns show a strong emphasis on open competition, with 85.7% of awards issued without set-asides, suggesting a prioritization of technical capability and mission readiness over socioeconomic preferences. Nevertheless, she maintains a meaningful 14.3% commitment to total small business set-asides, demonstrating a balanced approach that supports small business participation without compromising technical rigor. Labial’s procurement portfolio is dominated by NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), with significant activity in 332721 (Precision Turned Products), 333415 (Commercial Refrigeration and HVAC), and 541511 (Custom Computer Programming). This reflects deep technical engagement in mechanical systems, thermal management, and embedded software integration for naval platforms, underscoring her expertise in procuring integrated, mission-critical technologies for next-generation surface and underwater vessels.
