Samantha Price

Samantha Price serves as a primary contracting professional at Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren Division (NSWC Dahlgren), where she plays a critical role in advancing the Department of the Navy’s warfighting capabilities through the acquisition of advanced electronic systems and engineering services. She manages a diverse portfolio of procurements centered on sensors, command and control platforms, communications networks, and embedded computing technologies essential to integrated naval combat systems. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to develop, test, and evaluate next-generation electronic warfare and signal processing solutions for surface ships and networked battlefields, ensuring timely delivery of mission-critical capabilities through rigorous contract execution and risk mitigation. Her primary contractor relationships include TEX-TECH ENGINEERED COMPOSITES, LLC, TATITLEK GOVERNMENT SERVICES, INC., 3DB LABS INC, WASTE REMOVAL USA, LLC, and BOWHEAD PROGRAM MANAGEMENT & OPERATIONS, LLC. These partnerships reflect a strategic focus on specialized engineering firms, advanced manufacturing vendors, and program management support contractors capable of delivering high-reliability hardware, rapid prototyping, and mission-critical logistics. Her contracting patterns emphasize technical precision, performance-based outcomes, and long-term vendor collaboration rather than transactional procurement. Samantha’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a deliberate focus on technical merit and capability over socioeconomic classifications, prioritizing mission readiness and system interoperability above targeted set-asides. While small business participation is not formally mandated in her portfolio, vendors of all sizes compete on technical superiority and proven performance. Her primary NAICS focus areas—334417 (Electronic Connector Manufacturing) and 541330 (Engineering Services)—highlight deep expertise in high-reliability electronic components and mission-specific systems engineering. She routinely procures custom connectors, signal conditioning modules, embedded firmware, and integrated test environments supporting naval electronic warfare and network-centric operations.
