Jordan Black

Jordan Black serves as a key procurement lead at Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division (N00164), where they manage acquisitions critical to the development, testing, and sustainment of advanced electronic, electro-optical, and ordnance systems for naval warfare platforms. Their work directly supports the Navy’s modernization priorities in electronic warfare, signal intelligence, and precision sensing technologies. Black handles complex contract actions spanning R&D, prototyping, and production-phase procurements, ensuring alignment with DoN technical specifications and operational readiness requirements. They are instrumental in translating mission-critical capabilities into actionable acquisition strategies that meet stringent defense standards. Black maintains consistent working relationships with major defense contractors including Lockheed Martin Corporation, Programs Management Analytics & Technologies Inc., and Integrity Defense Services Inc., often engaging them for systems integration, technical analysis, and mission support services. Additional partnerships with Black Hills Ammunition Inc. and McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC reflect a broad scope of procurement, extending from ordnance production to facility infrastructure. These relationships are characterized by long-term collaboration, technical alignment, and adherence to defense acquisition regulations, with a focus on performance-based contracting and risk mitigation. Black’s procurement portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition, indicating a preference for technical capability over socioeconomic classifications. While small business participation is not formally incentivized through set-asides, vendor selection remains driven by technical merit, past performance, and mission-specific expertise. The primary NAICS focus areas include 334515 for instrumentation in electrical signal testing, 334511 for radar and navigation systems, and 325211 for specialized plastics and resin materials used in sensor housings and electromagnetic shielding. These reflect deep technical expertise in electronic warfare components, signal processing hardware, and ruggedized materials for expeditionary environments.
