Sharon Buscemi serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Surface Warfare Center, supporting the acquisition of advanced electronic systems critical to naval surface warfare readiness. She manages contracts for sensors, signal processing equipment, navigation systems, and communications instrumentation, ensuring alignment with the Center’s mission to modernize fleet capabilities. Her work spans the full lifecycle of technical acquisitions—from requirements definition to contract award and performance oversight—focusing on high-priority domains such as sonar, radar, and precision electronic instrumentation. She operates within a highly technical procurement environment where compliance with defense standards and rapid technology integration are paramount. Buscemi maintains strong working relationships with a core group of contractors including CYNERGY PROFESSIONAL SYSTEMS LLC, AEROSPACE & COMMERCIAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLC, SCIENCE APPLICATIONS INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION, The Whiskey Project Group USA LLC, and WASHINGTON OFFICE INTERIORS LLC. These partnerships reflect a balanced mix of established defense primes and specialized small firms, with an emphasis on firms capable of delivering tailored electronic systems, field-deployable instrumentation, and mission-critical infrastructure. Her contracting approach prioritizes technical proficiency, past performance, and responsiveness to rapidly evolving naval requirements. A consistent advocate for small business participation, Buscemi directs 75% of her acquisitions toward small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a robust commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals. Her portfolio regularly supports small disadvantaged, service-disabled veteran-owned, and other certified small businesses, fostering innovation and resilience within the defense industrial base. This pattern underscores a deliberate strategy to leverage niche capabilities while expanding vendor diversity in critical technology sectors. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 511210 (Software Publishers), 334515 (Instrument Manufacturing for Electrical Signals), and 237130 (Power and Communication Line Construction), reflecting expertise in embedded software, electronic test and measurement systems, and field-deployable communications infrastructure. She consistently procures ruggedized sensors, signal conditioning units, and integrated electronic warfare components tailored for maritime environments.
