Marge Niedzwicz

Marge Niedzwicz serves as a key procurement professional within the Strategic Systems Programs (N00030) office of the Department of the Navy, supporting the lifecycle management of the nation’s sea-based strategic deterrent systems. She manages complex acquisitions for engineering, systems integration, and custom software development critical to the reliability and operational readiness of submarine-launched ballistic missile systems and associated command, control, and communications infrastructure. Her work directly enables mission-critical capabilities by ensuring timely delivery of technically rigorous solutions through full-spectrum contract vehicles, including performance-based and cost-reimbursement arrangements. Niedzwicz maintains longstanding partnerships with prime contractors including Lockheed Martin Corporation, Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, General Dynamics Mission Systems, Inc., Systems Planning and Analysis, Inc., and JRC Integrated Systems, LLC. These relationships reflect a preference for established defense industry leaders with proven expertise in nuclear systems engineering, weapons integration, and secure communications architectures. Her contracting patterns emphasize deep technical collaboration, with a focus on risk mitigation through rigorous systems engineering oversight and integrated test and evaluation support. Her procurement strategy prioritizes open competition, with 66.7% of awards issued under no set-aside, while maintaining a consistent 33.3% commitment to Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides. This balance reflects a deliberate approach to leveraging both large-scale industrial capacity and specialized small business innovation, particularly in niche technical domains requiring security clearance and heritage system knowledge. Niedzwicz’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services) and 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services), reflecting her specialization in systems engineering, modeling and simulation, embedded software development, and secure firmware integration. She routinely procures advanced technical services supporting weapons system modernization, cybersecurity hardening, and mission-critical software sustainment for strategic deterrence platforms.
