Kristin S. Shaw

Kristin S. Shaw serves as a primary contracting professional within the Naval Surface Warfare Center, supporting the acquisition of critical administrative and management consulting services essential to sustaining naval warfare modernization efforts. In this role, she facilitates the procurement of high-level strategic advisory services that enable the integration of advanced sensor, communications, and electronic systems across surface ship platforms. Her responsibilities include managing full lifecycle contract actions—from requirements validation and market research to award and performance oversight—ensuring alignment with the Center’s mission to enhance situational awareness, signal processing, and precision instrumentation for fleet readiness. Shaw maintains consistent partnerships with a select group of established federal contractors, including CYNERGY PROFESSIONAL SYSTEMS LLC, AEROSPACE & COMMERCIAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLC, SCIENCE APPLICATIONS INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION, The Whiskey Project Group USA LLC, and WASHINGTON OFFICE INTERIORS LLC. These relationships reflect a preference for firms with demonstrated expertise in defense-sector program management, systems integration support, and operational logistics consulting. Her contracting patterns indicate a reliance on experienced vendors capable of delivering technical advisory services under complex naval acquisition frameworks, often requiring security clearances and domain-specific knowledge. Shaw’s procurement activity is exclusively classified under the “No Set-Aside” category, indicating a focus on open competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. This reflects a strategic alignment with mission-critical needs requiring specialized capabilities that may not be consistently available among small business concerns in this niche domain. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 541611—Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services—encompassing strategic planning, organizational development, systems engineering support, and process optimization for naval technology programs. She procures high-value advisory services that underpin the modernization of sonar, radar, and electronic warfare systems, ensuring that technical innovation is matched by robust program governance and operational efficiency.
