Julie Shaff

Julie Shaff serves as a key procurement professional within the 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. She manages a specialized portfolio of engineering services contracts critical to modernizing electronic warfare suites, signal processing architectures, and precision sensing platforms for surface and expeditionary forces. Her acquisitions focus on technical integration, systems engineering, and mission-critical R&D support, ensuring alignment with Navy modernization priorities in electronic warfare and combat systems sustainment. Shaff maintains consistent contracting relationships with leading defense and engineering firms including Lockheed Martin Corporation, Programs Management Analytics & Technologies Inc., and Integrity Defense Services Inc., all of which provide high-specialization technical services in systems engineering, electronic testing, and mission support. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for established industry partners with proven expertise in naval electronic systems, often engaging contractors with deep domain knowledge in radar signal analysis, communications countermeasures, and ordnance control systems. These partnerships are typically long-term, performance-based, and aligned with technical requirements defined in complex statement of work documents. Shaff’s contracting activity shows a 100% preference for non-set-aside procurements, indicating a focus on technical capability over socioeconomic classifications. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her portfolio, this reflects the highly specialized nature of the engineering services required, where only a limited number of vendors possess the requisite security clearances, technical certifications, and heritage systems knowledge. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), encompassing systems engineering, test and evaluation, and technical analysis for advanced naval platforms. She consistently acquires services related to electronic system integration, electromagnetic compatibility testing, and signal intelligence infrastructure, demonstrating deep expertise in the technical domains underpinning modern naval warfare capabilities.
