Sara Sellers

Sara Sellers serves as a key procurement lead within the Commander (M00264), a critical element of the Department of the Navy focused on sustaining and modernizing naval warfighting capabilities. She manages the acquisition of mission-critical support services and systems engineering solutions that enhance command and control architectures, tactical computing environments, and operational readiness platforms. Her portfolio centers on integrated technology services that enable cyber-enabled decision-making, real-time data fusion, and armored vehicle modernization, ensuring alignment with Navy-wide digital transformation goals. Sellers routinely oversees complex, performance-based contracts requiring technical rigor and lifecycle management expertise. She maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of specialized contractors, including Goldbelt Hawk L.L.C., Alex-Alternative Experts, LLC, Tnda Technologies Inc., BC Market Solutions LLC, and Biospace, Inc. These vendors provide niche expertise in systems integration, mission planning support, technical analysis, and logistics modernization. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for agile, responsive partners capable of delivering rapid prototyping, systems engineering support, and adaptive service delivery in dynamic operational environments, often under time-sensitive, high-stakes conditions. Sellers demonstrates a balanced approach to socioeconomic contracting, with approximately half of her awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and the other half open to all competitors. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster innovation through small business engagement while maintaining access to specialized capabilities only available through larger, non-set-aside vendors. Her procurement decisions consistently prioritize verified small business participation without compromising mission-critical performance requirements. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561990 (All Other Support Services) and 541611 (Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services), reflecting a strong emphasis on mission support, operational planning, and systems engineering consulting. She procures services that underpin naval command systems, including data analytics platforms, tactical software integration, and enterprise-level logistics optimization—domain areas requiring deep understanding of DoD acquisition frameworks and joint operational doctrine.
