Selena Brooks

Selena Brooks supports the Naval Oceanographic Office in executing critical procurement activities aligned with its mission to deliver oceanographic and geospatial intelligence for naval operations. Though her formal title is not specified, her role centers on managing acquisitions for specialized scientific instrumentation, environmental sensing systems, and data modeling services essential to undersea warfare and maritime domain awareness. She interfaces with industry partners to secure advanced technologies that enhance real-time environmental forecasting, seabed mapping, and navigational safety, ensuring the Navy maintains operational superiority in complex marine environments. Her contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 87.5% of acquisitions issued without set-aside restrictions, indicating a focus on technical capability over socioeconomic criteria. However, she consistently allocates 12.5% of opportunities to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured but deliberate commitment to small business participation. While no specific contractor names are available, her portfolio suggests sustained engagement with firms delivering high-precision sensors, oceanographic data platforms, and custom software solutions tailored to naval operational needs. Her procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 335911 (measuring and controlling device manufacturing) and 541330 (engineering services), underscoring her specialization in hardware and technical consulting for oceanographic systems. She also frequently procures solutions under 334511 (nautical instrumentation) and 541511 (custom computer programming), reflecting demand for integrated sensor networks, data analytics tools, and real-time environmental modeling software. Her expertise lies in acquiring mission-critical systems that bridge physical oceanography with digital decision-support architectures, ensuring the Navy’s operational edge in dynamic maritime theaters.
