Jonathan Gregory

Jonathan Gregory serves as a key procurement lead at Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division (N00164), where he manages acquisitions critical to the development, testing, and sustainment of advanced electronic, electro-optical, and ordnance systems for naval warfare platforms. His responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of contracting for mission-critical components, including signal processing hardware, electronic warfare suites, radar detection systems, and precision munitions interfaces. He plays a central role in aligning procurement strategy with the Navy’s modernization priorities, ensuring timely delivery of technically complex systems that support surface and expeditionary forces. Gregory maintains consistent relationships with a select group of prime contractors, including Lockheed Martin Corporation, Programs Management Analytics & Technologies Inc., and Black Hills Ammunition Inc., reflecting a preference for established defense industrial base partners with proven expertise in defense electronics and ordnance. His contracting patterns emphasize performance-based outcomes and technical compliance, often requiring rigorous qualification of suppliers for classified or ITAR-controlled environments. While he engages with a mix of large and mid-tier firms, his portfolio is dominated by sole-source and competitive acquisitions tied to specialized technical capabilities. Gregory’s procurement activity shows no reliance on socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects the highly specialized nature of the technologies procured, where only a limited number of vendors possess the requisite security clearances, engineering expertise, or manufacturing certifications to meet Crane’s mission requirements. Small business participation is not formally prioritized in his portfolio, consistent with the technical exclusivity of the systems involved. His primary focus lies within NAICS 334419—Other Electronic Component Manufacturing—where he procures custom-designed circuitry, embedded systems, RF modules, and electro-optical sensors. His domain expertise centers on electronic warfare, signal intelligence, and weapons interface systems, requiring deep technical understanding of military standards such as MIL-STD-461 and MIL-STD-810 to ensure system interoperability and environmental resilience.
