Marie-Claire Wilson

Marie-Claire Wilson serves as a key procurement lead within the Commander (M00264) under the Department of the Navy, driving acquisitions that sustain and modernize naval warfighting capabilities. She manages a diverse portfolio of mission-critical contracts centered on tactical computing, command and control architectures, and armored systems integration, ensuring operational readiness through advanced sensor, communication, and ammunition technologies. Her work directly supports the agency’s priority to enhance cyber-enabled decision-making and real-time battlefield connectivity, bridging engineering requirements with responsive contracting solutions across both commercial and defense-specific supply chains. Wilson maintains strong, recurring relationships with specialized contractors including GOLDBELT HAWK L.L.C., ALEX-ALTERNATIVE EXPERTS, LLC, TNDA TECHNOLOGIES INC., BC MARKET SOLUTIONS LLC, and BIOSPACE, INC., each providing niche expertise in systems engineering, software development, and mission support services. Her contracting approach favors long-term partnerships with firms capable of rapid prototyping, secure software integration, and compliance with Navy-specific technical standards, often engaging vendors for iterative development and field-deployable system upgrades. Her procurement strategy reflects a balanced commitment to small business participation, with 40% of awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, while 60% remain open to all competitors. This reflects a deliberate effort to foster innovation from small, agile vendors while maintaining access to broader market capabilities, without favoring specific socioeconomic categories like 8(a) or HUBZone. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 332992 (Small Arms Ammunition Manufacturing) and 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services), each accounting for 40% of activity, with an additional 20% in explosives manufacturing (325920). She routinely procures secure battlefield software, ammunition systems, and precision explosive components, demonstrating deep technical fluency in defense ordnance lifecycle management and integrated tactical computing environments.
