Sarah M Murr

Sarah M. Murr serves as a key procurement lead within the Naval Information Warfare Systems Command (N00039), responsible for managing acquisitions of advanced electromagnetic spectrum capabilities critical to naval dominance. She oversees the contracting lifecycle for secure communications systems, cyber-enabled networking equipment, and tactical data link technologies that support fleet-wide command, control, and intelligence operations. Her work directly enables the modernization of naval information warfare infrastructure, ensuring interoperability across platforms from shipboard systems to expeditionary edge devices. She specializes in complex, technology-intensive procurements requiring rigorous cybersecurity compliance and rapid fielding timelines. Murr maintains consistent contracting relationships with leading defense technology providers including Raytheon Company, ITC Defense Corp, Advanced Technology Systems Company, Inc. (of Virginia), Intecon LLC, and Global C2 Integration Technologies LLC. These partnerships reflect a focus on established industry primes with proven capabilities in radio frequency systems, signal processing, and secure data transmission. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, technical evaluation rigor, and long-term sustainment planning, fostering stable vendor collaborations built on technical reliability and mission alignment. Her acquisition portfolio exhibits no reliance on socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic prioritization of technical capability and mission readiness over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with the Navy’s urgent need for rapid deployment of hardened, high-performance systems in contested environments. Murr’s procurement focus is exclusively concentrated under NAICS 334220—Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing. She procures mission-critical hardware including software-defined radios, encrypted waveform transceivers, tactical network gateways, and electromagnetic spectrum management systems. Her expertise lies at the intersection of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) integration and military-qualified electronics, ensuring naval forces maintain superior situational awareness and communication resilience across the electromagnetic spectrum.
