Rebecca Jett

Rebecca Jett serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Undersea Warfare Center, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to advance undersea warfare technologies. She manages acquisitions for critical systems including sonar arrays, underwater sensor platforms, ruggedized computing hardware, and electronic warfare components essential to submarine and unmanned undersea vehicle operations. Her work directly enables the sustainment and modernization of naval undersea capabilities, with a focus on technical procurement across engineering, testing, and maintenance domains. She interfaces closely with defense contractors and research partners to ensure mission-critical systems meet stringent military performance and environmental standards. Jett maintains consistent contracting relationships with specialized vendors including Ordnance Technology Service, Inc., Boh Environmental, L.L.C., and Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, reflecting a preference for firms with proven expertise in undersea system integration, environmental compliance, and advanced electronics manufacturing. Her procurement patterns emphasize long-term vendor partnerships with companies possessing niche technical capabilities in signal processing, ruggedized electronics, and mission-specific system sustainment, often requiring security clearances and defense-specific certifications. Her contracting portfolio demonstrates a strong emphasis on small business participation, with over 42% of awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. While no specific socioeconomic categories dominate, her consistent use of small business set-asides signals a deliberate strategy to foster innovation and capacity-building among qualified defense contractors. She actively leverages the small business ecosystem to access agile, specialized solutions in high-technology undersea domains. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS categories including 334419 (Other Electronic Component Manufacturing), 332710 (Machine Shops), and 811310 (Commercial and Industrial Machinery Repair), reflecting demand for precision components, maintenance of specialized test equipment, and electronic subsystems. She routinely procures ruggedized hardware, signal processing modules, and environmental control systems tailored for deep-sea operational environments, underscoring deep technical alignment with undersea warfare system lifecycle requirements.
