Megan Kusina

Megan Kusina serves as a key procurement professional within Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA HQ), supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to sustain and modernize the U.S. Fleet through the acquisition of mission-critical naval platforms and systems. She manages complex contract actions focused on shipbuilding, repair, and integration of advanced maritime technologies, ensuring alignment with naval readiness objectives and lifecycle support requirements. Her work directly enables the procurement of new construction vessels, mid-life modernizations, and system upgrades critical to maintaining technological superiority across surface and undersea domains. Kusina maintains consistent working relationships with prime contractors including Damen Shipbuilding & Cooperation B.V., Huntington Ingalls Incorporated, Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, G.S.E. Dynamics, Inc., and Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC. These partnerships reflect a focus on large-scale, integrated shipbuilding and defense systems delivery, with an emphasis on technical rigor, compliance with naval engineering standards, and performance-based contract management. Her contracting approach prioritizes long-term vendor collaboration, rigorous source selection, and oversight of complex technical deliverables across multiple shipyard and systems integration environments. Kusina’s procurement portfolio exhibits a 100% preference for unrestricted, full and open competition, with no set-asides designated for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic categories. This reflects NAVSEA HQ’s strategic focus on leveraging the broadest possible industrial base for high-complexity, mission-essential acquisitions where specialized capabilities and scale are paramount. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in her portfolio, all contracts adhere to federal acquisition regulations and full transparency requirements. Her primary technical focus lies within NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), encompassing the full spectrum of naval vessel acquisition—from steel cutting to combat system integration. She procures advanced hull structures, propulsion systems, naval electronics, and mission-specific payloads, requiring deep familiarity with naval architecture, military specifications, and defense acquisition frameworks. Her expertise ensures the delivery of technically sound, combat-ready platforms aligned with the Navy’s future fleet architecture.
