Naomi McKenzie

Naomi McKenzie supports the Naval Undersea Warfare Center in executing critical procurement activities aligned with the agency’s mission to advance undersea warfare technologies. Though her official title is not listed, her procurement patterns indicate a central role in managing contracts for specialized engineering, maintenance, and technical services essential to submarine and unmanned undersea systems. She oversees acquisitions in ruggedized computing, sensor sustainment, and mission-critical infrastructure, ensuring alignment with Navy requirements for sonar, signal processing, and electronic warfare systems. Her work directly enables the development and lifecycle support of undersea platforms, bridging technical needs with federal contracting compliance. McKenzie maintains consistent relationships with a core group of contractors including Ordnance Technology Service, Inc., Boh Environmental, L.L.C., and Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, each providing niche capabilities in undersea system maintenance, environmental compliance, and advanced electronics. Her contracting patterns suggest a preference for firms with proven expertise in naval systems integration and field-deployable hardware support. She also engages McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, indicating involvement in facility-related infrastructure supporting undersea research and testing environments. Her procurement portfolio reflects a strong emphasis on small business participation, with over half of her awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This demonstrates a deliberate strategy to cultivate capacity among small, technologically agile vendors capable of supporting rapid innovation in undersea domains. While no specific socioeconomic set-asides are dominant, her consistent use of small business set-asides underscores a commitment to broad-based vendor development within the defense industrial base. Her primary NAICS focus centers on commercial and industrial machinery repair and maintenance (811310), reflecting a heavy reliance on sustainment services for undersea hardware. Additional activity in shipbuilding and repair (336611) and machine shops (332710) highlights procurement of precision components and retrofit solutions for naval platforms. Her technical domain expertise lies in sustaining ruggedized, high-reliability systems critical to undersea operations, with ancillary support for drafting and data services to enable system integration.
