Marissa Graber

Marissa Graber serves as a secondary procurement professional at Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division (N00164), supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to develop, test, and sustain advanced electronic, electro-optical, and ordnance systems. While not the primary contracting officer, she plays a critical role in facilitating acquisition processes for technical services and specialized manufacturing, ensuring alignment with the center’s strategic priorities in electronic warfare, signal processing, and precision sensing. Her work primarily supports complex, mission-critical procurements requiring deep technical oversight, often coordinating with program managers and engineers to define requirements and evaluate vendor proposals for systems that enhance naval combat effectiveness. Graber maintains consistent procurement relationships with key contractors including Lockheed Martin Corporation, Programs Management Analytics & Technologies Inc., Integrity Defense Services Inc., Black Hills Ammunition Inc., and McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC. These partnerships reflect a focus on high-performance electronics, systems engineering, defense services, and specialized infrastructure support. Her contracting patterns indicate collaboration with both large prime contractors and niche technical firms, emphasizing reliability, compliance, and mission-specific capability over cost alone. Her procurement activity shows no use of set-aside programs, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a mission-driven priority to access the broadest possible pool of technical expertise, particularly for systems requiring advanced certification, security clearances, or specialized manufacturing capabilities that may not be available within the small business base. Graber’s primary NAICS focus is on Computer Systems Design Services (541512) and Engineering Services (541330), with significant activity in Other Electronic Component Manufacturing (334419). She routinely procures embedded systems, signal processing hardware, electronic warfare countermeasures, and ruggedized electro-optical components, demonstrating deep domain expertise in naval electronic systems integration and defense-grade component supply chains.
