Megan Norton

Megan Norton serves as a key procurement professional within Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA HQ), supporting the acquisition and lifecycle management of advanced naval systems critical to fleet readiness and technological superiority. She specializes in the procurement of mission-critical aerospace and nautical instrumentation, overseeing contracts for search, detection, navigation, and guidance systems that enable next-generation warship platforms. Her work directly supports NAVSEA’s mission to sustain and modernize the U.S. Navy’s maritime combat capabilities through technically complex, high-stakes acquisitions that demand rigorous compliance with defense acquisition regulations and interoperability standards. Norton maintains consistent working relationships with leading defense contractors including Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, Huntington Ingalls Incorporated, and G.S.E. Dynamics, Inc., as well as international shipbuilding partners like Damen Shipbuilding & Cooperation B.V. These partnerships are characterized by long-term, performance-based contract structures focused on systems integration, sustainment, and technological modernization. Her procurement approach emphasizes technical rigor, risk mitigation, and supply chain resilience, often engaging prime contractors with proven track records in naval electronics and platform-level system delivery. Her contracting activity reflects a strict focus on full and open competition, with 100% of awards issued under no set-aside conditions. This indicates a strategic prioritization of technical capability and industrial base capacity over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with NAVSEA’s requirement for mission-critical systems that demand specialized expertise not typically available within small business pools. Norton’s procurement portfolio is exclusively centered on NAICS 334511, encompassing the design, development, and integration of naval-grade sensors, navigation systems, guidance electronics, and combat control instrumentation. Her technical domain expertise lies in maritime electronic warfare systems, sonar arrays, radar integration, and autonomous navigation technologies, ensuring naval platforms maintain operational dominance in contested undersea and surface environments.
