Lisa Grayum 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 advanced maritime systems. She manages complex contracting actions focused on engineering services, communications equipment, and specialized maintenance support for naval platforms, ensuring alignment with lifecycle readiness goals. Her work directly enables the integration of next-generation electronics, propulsion systems, and mission-critical infrastructure across surface and undersea vessels, bridging technical requirements with acquisition execution under FAR and DFARS frameworks. Grayum maintains consistent partnerships with industry leaders including Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, Huntington Ingalls Incorporated, and Damen Shipbuilding & Cooperation B.V., reflecting a preference for established prime contractors with proven capabilities in naval shipbuilding and systems integration. She also engages with specialized technology firms such as G.S.E. Dynamics, Inc. and Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, indicating a pattern of sourcing niche engineering and electronic support services from mid-tier and niche vendors with domain-specific expertise in naval communications and platform sustainment. Her procurement portfolio shows no reliance on socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on technical capability and mission urgency over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with NAVSEA’s priority to rapidly field high-performance systems without contractual restrictions that may limit competition or delay delivery. Grayum’s primary focus lies in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), where she procures systems engineering, integration, and technical analysis for naval platforms. She also regularly acquires communications equipment under 334290 and specialized maintenance services under 811310, demonstrating deep expertise in naval electronics lifecycle support, shipboard system modernization, and mission-critical infrastructure sustainment. Her work ensures the Navy’s technological edge through precise, technically rigorous contracting in high-stakes maritime domains.
