Roselyn Bailey

Roselyn Bailey serves as a Contracting Officer at the Naval Oceanographic Office (N62306), where she manages the acquisition of critical oceanographic and geospatial intelligence systems essential to naval operations and undersea warfare readiness. Her portfolio encompasses the procurement of advanced sensing technologies, data processing infrastructure, and specialized surveying services that support real-time environmental modeling and maritime domain awareness. She plays a pivotal role in ensuring the agency’s technical requirements are met through compliant, transparent, and mission-driven contracting practices aligned with Department of Defense acquisition regulations. Bailey cultivates strategic partnerships with a diverse range of vendors, including defense contractors specializing in nautical instrumentation, geospatial analytics firms, and custom software developers supporting oceanographic data systems. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with firms possessing deep domain expertise in seabed mapping, hydrographic surveying, and high-performance computing for environmental modeling. Her working relationships are characterized by technical collaboration, rigorous performance oversight, and a focus on vendor capability over volume. Her contracting patterns reflect a strong commitment to small business participation, with nearly half of her awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. She actively prioritizes opportunities for small disadvantaged businesses and other socioeconomic categories, aligning with DoD goals to expand vendor diversity in mission-critical technical sectors. Her approach balances competitive fairness with intentional outreach to qualified small firms capable of delivering specialized oceanographic solutions. Bailey’s primary NAICS focus areas include Search, Detection, Navigation, and Nautical System Manufacturing (334511), Surveying and Mapping Services (541370), and Custom Computer Programming Services (541511). She regularly procures high-precision ocean sensors, geospatial data platforms, and real-time data processing systems that enable naval forces to operate effectively in complex maritime environments. Her expertise lies at the intersection of environmental science and defense procurement, ensuring that technical acquisitions directly enhance operational superiority in undersea and maritime domains.
