Reece Freeman

Reece Freeman serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division (N00164), supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to develop, test, and sustain advanced electronic, electro-optical, and ordnance systems for naval warfare. Responsible for managing complex acquisitions in sensing, signal processing, and electronic warfare technologies, Freeman oversees the full lifecycle of contracts—from requirements definition to award and performance monitoring—ensuring alignment with strategic modernization priorities. Their work directly enables critical capabilities for surface and expeditionary forces, with a focus on mission-critical systems requiring rigorous technical validation and lifecycle sustainment. Freeman maintains consistent working relationships with industry leaders such as Lockheed Martin Corporation, Programs Management Analytics & Technologies Inc., and Integrity Defense Services Inc., reflecting a preference for established defense contractors with proven expertise in electronic systems integration and technical services. Additional partnerships with specialized vendors like Black Hills Ammunition Inc. and McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC indicate a diversified acquisition portfolio spanning ordnance production and facility infrastructure. These relationships are characterized by long-term engagement, technical collaboration, and performance-based contract structures that emphasize reliability and mission readiness. Freeman’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on maximizing technical capability and industrial base breadth rather than socioeconomic set-asides, prioritizing mission-critical performance over socioeconomic preferences. While small business participation is not formally incentivized through set-asides, the agency’s contracting approach remains open to all qualified vendors, regardless of size or certification. The primary NAICS focus is 334511, indicating deep specialization in the procurement of search, detection, navigation, and guidance systems, including radar, electronic warfare suites, and precision targeting instruments. Secondary emphasis on 541715 underscores active investment in R&D for advanced physical and engineering sciences, particularly in signal analysis and sensor fusion. A smaller but notable focus on 332439 reflects procurement of specialized metal containers for ordnance storage and deployment, demonstrating a multidisciplinary technical domain spanning hardware, software, and system integration.
