Simon Cambron

Simon Cambron serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division (N00164), supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to develop, test, and sustain advanced electronic, electro-optical, and ordnance systems for naval warfare. He manages complex acquisitions centered on precision sensing, signal processing, communications, and electronic warfare technologies, ensuring timely delivery of mission-critical capabilities to surface and expeditionary forces. His portfolio primarily involves engineering services, systems integration, and specialized hardware procurement aligned with modernization priorities in radar detection, signal intelligence, and directed energy systems. Cambron maintains strategic relationships with leading defense contractors including Lockheed Martin Corporation, Programs Management Analytics & Technologies Inc., and Black Hills Ammunition Inc., partnering with firms possessing deep expertise in military-grade electronics and ordnance production. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established industry leaders with proven track records in classified and high-integrity systems development, often involving long-term sustainment and technical support agreements. He also engages specialized contractors such as Integrity Defense Services Inc. and McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC for niche technical and infrastructure support services critical to test facility operations. Cambron’s procurement activity shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a mission-driven focus on technical capability over socioeconomic criteria, prioritizing performance, security clearance readiness, and system interoperability above vendor classification. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in his portfolio, vendors must still meet stringent DoD compliance and quality assurance standards. His primary NAICS focus is 334511—Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing—underscoring deep expertise in procuring advanced electro-optical sensors, radar subsystems, guidance electronics, and electronic warfare suites. He consistently acquires mission-essential systems requiring rigorous MIL-STD compliance, ruggedized design, and integration with naval combat platforms.
