Marjorie E. Frazier

Marjorie E. Frazier serves as a Contracting Officer at the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Indian Head Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technology Division (NSWC IHEODTD), where she manages the acquisition of critical technologies supporting the safe handling, detection, and disposal of explosive ordnance for naval forces. Her portfolio encompasses a range of defense-related procurements focused on sensor instrumentation, ordnance systems, and analytical platforms essential to operational readiness. Frazier ensures compliance with Department of Defense acquisition regulations while aligning contract awards with the agency’s mission to advance next-generation EOD technologies through rigorous testing and sustainment programs. Frazier collaborates with a diverse base of contractors, including specialized manufacturers of explosive detection equipment, defense systems integrators, and firms providing advanced computer-related services for data analysis and system modeling. While no single vendor dominates her award portfolio, her contracting patterns reflect a preference for technical specialists with proven expertise in ordnance safety, instrumentation, and ruggedized computing systems. She fosters long-term partnerships with vendors capable of supporting rapid prototyping, field validation, and lifecycle sustainment under stringent military standards. Frazier demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 25.8% of her acquisitions set aside for total small businesses under FAR 19.5. Though no specific socioeconomic set-asides are predominant, her contracting approach actively encourages qualified small businesses to compete for technical opportunities, reinforcing the agency’s broader goals of innovation and workforce diversification within the defense industrial base. Her primary NAICS focus areas include explosives manufacturing, measuring and controlling device manufacturing, and computer peripheral equipment production, reflecting her specialization in hardware and systems for explosive ordnance detection and analysis. She frequently procures custom instrumentation, field-deployable sensors, and specialized computing platforms engineered for high-risk environments, underscoring her deep technical understanding of EOD operational requirements and the unique constraints of defense procurement.
