Roselyn Bailey

Roselyn Bailey supports the Naval Oceanographic Office in executing mission-critical procurement activities aligned with the agency’s mandate to deliver oceanographic and geospatial intelligence for naval operations. Though her formal title is not listed, her role centers on managing acquisitions for advanced environmental sensing systems, data modeling tools, and undersea warfare technologies. She plays a pivotal part in ensuring the Navy maintains operational superiority through timely access to high-fidelity oceanic and seabed data, overseeing contracts that enable real-time environmental forecasting, sensor deployment, and computational analysis essential for anti-submarine and undersea warfare missions. Bailey’s contracting patterns reflect a broad vendor ecosystem, with engagements spanning hardware manufacturers, software publishers, and specialized service providers. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she routinely collaborates with firms offering precision instrumentation, custom geospatial software, and electronic systems maintenance. Her procurement approach emphasizes technical interoperability, data integrity, and rapid deployment, fostering partnerships with vendors capable of meeting the Navy’s stringent operational and security requirements. Her contracting activity shows a strong preference for open competition, with 82.3% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions. However, she consistently supports small business participation, allocating 17.6% of opportunities to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate effort to cultivate innovation from agile, niche suppliers without compromising mission readiness. Bailey’s primary NAICS focus includes Hardware Manufacturing (332510) for oceanographic sensors, Custom Computer Programming Services (541511) for environmental modeling applications, Software Publishers (513210) for geospatial analytics platforms, and Electronic Equipment Repair (811210) for maintaining deployed instrumentation. Her expertise lies at the intersection of marine science and defense technology, ensuring procurement decisions align with the Navy’s evolving undersea domain awareness objectives.
