Kristina Wagoner serves as a key procurement professional at Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division (N00164), where she manages acquisitions critical to the development, testing, and sustainment of advanced electronic, electro-optical, and ordnance systems for naval warfare platforms. Her work directly supports the Navy’s strategic priorities in electronic warfare modernization, signal intelligence, and precision weapons integration. Wagoner routinely handles complex contract actions for high-tech defense systems, including printed circuit assemblies, explosives manufacturing, and specialized chemical preparations, ensuring alignment with DoD technical standards and operational readiness requirements. She maintains consistent contracting relationships with leading defense contractors including Lockheed Martin Corporation, Programs Management Analytics & Technologies Inc., and Black Hills Ammunition Inc., partnering with firms possessing deep expertise in military-grade electronics, munitions production, and mission-critical logistics. Her procurement approach favors established prime contractors with proven capabilities in classified and controlled environments, often requiring ITAR compliance, security clearances, and specialized manufacturing certifications. These partnerships reflect a focus on reliability, technical sophistication, and rapid sustainment support for expeditionary and surface warfare systems. Wagoner’s contracting portfolio shows no reliance on socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a mission-driven prioritization of technical capability and operational urgency over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with the specialized nature of Crane’s advanced systems development. While small business participation is not formally targeted, vendors must still meet stringent performance and security benchmarks regardless of size. Her primary NAICS focus spans explosives manufacturing, miscellaneous chemical product production, and printed circuit assembly, underscoring deep expertise in ordnance systems, propellants, and electronic warfare components. Wagoner’s acquisitions center on mission-critical hardware requiring precision engineering, hazardous material handling, and rigorous environmental and safety compliance, making her a pivotal link between technical requirements and industrial capability in the defense supply chain.
