Joshua Lausier

Joshua Lausier serves as a key procurement professional within Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSYSCOM), supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to sustain and modernize the U.S. Fleet through strategic acquisition of naval vessels and mission-critical systems. He manages complex contracting actions centered on shipbuilding and repair, overseeing the lifecycle acquisition of surface and undersea platforms, propulsion systems, and integrated combat electronics. His work directly enables fleet readiness and technological superiority by ensuring timely delivery of high-integrity naval platforms aligned with Navy modernization priorities. Lausier operates within a highly technical environment requiring deep familiarity with defense acquisition regulations, MIL-SPEC standards, and lifecycle support frameworks. He maintains consistent working relationships with leading prime contractors including Huntington Ingalls Incorporated, Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, Damen Shipbuilding & Cooperation B.V., G.S.E. Dynamics, Inc., and Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC. These partnerships reflect a focus on large-scale, mission-critical shipbuilding and systems integration, with an emphasis on proven industrial capabilities capable of meeting stringent naval engineering and quality assurance requirements. His contracting patterns indicate a preference for established, vertically integrated defense contractors with demonstrated experience in naval platform construction and modernization. Lausier’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic alignment with NAVSEA’s requirement for specialized, high-capacity industrial bases capable of delivering complex naval systems, where small business set-asides are not operationally feasible due to the scale and technical rigor of the work. There is no indication of socioeconomic set-aside usage, consistent with the nature of major defense shipbuilding programs. His primary focus is on NAICS 336611—Ship Building and Repairing—encompassing the design, construction, and overhaul of destroyers, submarines, amphibious ships, and support vessels. He procures integrated naval systems including hull structures, propulsion trains, combat management systems, and electro-optical suites, demonstrating deep expertise in maritime defense engineering and defense industrial base management.
