Nicole E. Roudebush serves as a Contract Specialist at Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division (N00164), where she manages the acquisition lifecycle for critical defense systems supporting naval electronic, electro-optical, and ordnance capabilities. Her work directly enables the development, testing, and sustainment of advanced signal processing, radar detection, and electronic warfare systems essential to surface and expeditionary forces. Roudebush specializes in complex technical procurements under full and open competition, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning contract outcomes with the Navy’s modernization priorities in precision sensing and communications. She maintains strong, ongoing relationships with key industry partners including Lockheed Martin Corporation, Programs Management Analytics & Technologies Inc., and Black Hills Ammunition Inc., reflecting her focus on high-performance systems integration and mission-critical hardware. Her contracting patterns demonstrate a preference for established defense contractors with proven expertise in aerospace and ordnance domains, alongside specialized engineering and construction firms such as McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC and Integrity Defense Services Inc., indicating a balanced approach to technical and infrastructure support needs. Roudebush’s procurement portfolio is entirely under full and open competition, with no set-asides designated for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic programs. This reflects a mission-driven emphasis on technical capability and operational readiness over socioeconomic preferences, consistent with the high-stakes nature of the systems being acquired. Her primary NAICS focus areas include 334511 for search, detection, and navigation systems, 335931 for current-carrying wiring devices, and 541330 for engineering services. These reflect deep expertise in procuring advanced electronic subsystems, ruggedized electrical components, and specialized engineering support critical to naval warfare platforms, demonstrating a highly technical and mission-specific contracting profile.
