Lindsay Carrington

Lindsay Carrington serves as a key procurement professional at the Naval Undersea Warfare Center (N00253), supporting the Department of Defense’s mission to maintain undersea technological superiority. She manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on the design, development, and sustainment of critical undersea systems, including sonar arrays, navigation sensors, ruggedized computing platforms, and electronic warfare components. Her work ensures the Navy’s submarines and unmanned undersea vehicles remain operationally dominant through timely, compliant, and technically rigorous contracting actions aligned with naval warfare modernization priorities. Carrington maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of specialized contractors, including Ordnance Technology Service, Inc., Boh Environmental, L.L.C., and Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, which provide advanced engineering, environmental compliance, and mission-critical hardware integration services. She also collaborates with construction and facility support firms such as McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC and EOS of North America, Inc., to ensure infrastructure readiness for sensitive undersea research and testing environments. Her contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in technical expertise and regulatory compliance. Carrington demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 60% of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. She routinely prioritizes contracts for small disadvantaged businesses, HUBZone firms, and other socioeconomic categories, fostering innovation and resilience within the defense industrial base. Her procurement patterns reflect a deliberate strategy to expand vendor diversity while maintaining mission-critical performance standards. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 332999 for fabricated metal components, 334511 for undersea sensor and navigation systems, and construction-related categories including plumbing, HVAC, and building construction (236220, 238220, 238320). This reflects her role in acquiring both cutting-edge electronic warfare systems and the physical infrastructure needed to support them, bridging advanced technology with operational readiness.
