Lynn Masterson-Brinegar

Lynn Masterson-Brinegar serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division (N00164), where she manages complex acquisitions supporting the development, testing, and sustainment of advanced electronic, electro-optical, and ordnance systems critical to naval warfare. Her work directly enables the modernization of electronic warfare suites, signal intelligence platforms, and precision guidance systems for surface and expeditionary forces. She typically handles competitive procurements under FAR Part 15 for high-technology hardware, engineering services, and mission-critical components, ensuring alignment with Navy strategic priorities in sensing, communications, and weapons integration. Her primary contractor relationships include Lockheed Martin Corporation, Programs Management Analytics & Technologies Inc., and Integrity Defense Services Inc., reflecting a preference for established defense primes and specialized technical service providers. She also engages with niche suppliers such as Black Hills Ammunition Inc. and McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, indicating a broad scope spanning ordnance production, facility support, and systems integration. Her contracting patterns emphasize performance-based outcomes, technical rigor, and long-term sustainment partnerships with vendors possessing deep domain expertise in naval systems. Masterson-Brinegar’s procurement portfolio reflects minimal use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 97.8% of awards issued under full and open competition. While small business participation is limited, the 2.2% allocated to total small business set-asides demonstrates a measured, compliance-driven approach aligned with DoD-wide priorities rather than aggressive socioeconomic targeting. Her technical focus centers on NAICS 334511 for search, detection, and navigation systems, complemented by significant activity in 334220 for wireless communications equipment and 335999 for specialized electrical components. She routinely procures signal processing hardware, radar subsystems, electronic countermeasure technologies, and mission-specific engineering services, demonstrating deep expertise in the electromagnetic spectrum and naval ordnance lifecycle management.
