Shirelle Womack

Shirelle Womack serves as a key procurement professional within the Strategic Systems Programs (N00030) under the Department of the Navy, supporting the lifecycle management of the U.S. Navy’s sea-based strategic deterrent systems. Responsible for managing complex acquisitions in systems engineering, test and evaluation, and command, control, and communications infrastructure, Womack ensures that critical defense technologies meet stringent reliability, security, and operational readiness standards. Her work directly enables the sustainment and modernization of submarine-launched ballistic missile systems and integrated strategic weapons platforms, making her a vital link between technical requirements and contract execution. Womack maintains longstanding partnerships with leading defense contractors including Lockheed Martin Corporation, Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, General Dynamics Mission Systems, Inc., and Systems Planning and Analysis, Inc., reflecting a preference for established industry partners with deep expertise in nuclear deterrence systems. She also collaborates with specialized firms like JRC Integrated Systems, LLC, indicating a balanced approach that combines prime contractor capabilities with niche technical support. Her contracting patterns suggest a reliance on proven vendors with proven track records in classified, high-assurance environments. Her procurement strategy reflects a strong commitment to socioeconomic diversity, with nearly half of her awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and an additional 11.1% allocated to 8(a) competed contracts. This demonstrates a deliberate effort to foster innovation and capacity-building among small disadvantaged businesses while maintaining mission-critical performance standards. Womack’s acquisitions are heavily concentrated in NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services) and 541330 (Engineering Services), underscoring her focus on software integration, systems analysis, and technical engineering support for strategic platforms. She also procures specialized human resources consulting services and limited office equipment, but her core domain expertise lies in advanced defense systems engineering and mission-critical IT services supporting the nation’s nuclear deterrent.
