Shane E. Jervis

Shane E. Jervis serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Oceanographic Office (NAVOCEANO), supporting the agency’s mission to deliver critical oceanographic and geospatial intelligence for naval operations and undersea warfare. He manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on scientific, technical, and information technology services essential to environmental data collection, modeling, and real-time maritime domain awareness. His work directly enables mission-critical capabilities in anti-submarine warfare, navigation safety, and seabed mapping, ensuring the Navy maintains operational superiority in complex maritime environments. Jervis cultivates partnerships with a broad spectrum of contractors specializing in advanced sensing systems, data infrastructure, and analytical services. While no single vendor dominates his contracting profile, he consistently engages firms with expertise in oceanographic instrumentation, geospatial data processing, and high-performance computing platforms. His procurement approach emphasizes technical precision and mission alignment, often requiring vendors to demonstrate proven experience in defense-grade environmental modeling and secure data transmission systems. His contracting patterns reflect a strong commitment to small business participation, with 20% of awards designated for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs), reflecting a deliberate effort to leverage niche capabilities within the veteran-owned contracting community. The remaining 80% of acquisitions are open competition, indicating a balanced strategy that prioritizes both innovation and socioeconomic goals without compromising mission readiness. Jervis primarily procures under NAICS codes 541990 (professional scientific services), 518210 (data processing and hosting), 334511 (nautical and navigation systems manufacturing), and 511210 (software publishing), underscoring his focus on integrated oceanographic systems, real-time data infrastructure, and specialized communications equipment. His expertise lies at the intersection of environmental science and defense technology, ensuring that acquisitions meet the rigorous standards of naval operational environments.
