Stacey Coolican

Stacey Coolican serves as a key procurement professional within the Strategic Systems Programs (N00030) office of the Department of the Navy, where she supports the lifecycle management of the nation’s sea-based strategic deterrent systems. Her responsibilities include managing complex engineering and systems integration acquisitions critical to the reliability, security, and operational readiness of submarine-launched ballistic missile systems and associated command, control, and communication infrastructure. She primarily handles high-stakes, technical contracts requiring rigorous systems engineering, test and evaluation, and nuclear surety compliance, ensuring that acquisition outcomes align with national defense priorities and stringent regulatory standards. Coolican maintains longstanding relationships with prime contractors including Lockheed Martin Corporation, Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, General Dynamics Mission Systems, Inc., Systems Planning and Analysis, Inc., and JRC Integrated Systems, LLC. These partnerships are centered on the delivery of advanced defense technologies, systems integration, and mission-critical engineering services. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical rigor, and long-term sustainment, fostering collaborative, trust-based vendor relationships that support mission continuity across multi-year program cycles. Coolican’s procurement portfolio reflects a strict focus on full and open competition, with 100% of awards issued under no set-aside categories. This underscores a deliberate strategy to prioritize technical capability and mission readiness over socioeconomic preferences, ensuring that the most qualified industry partners—regardless of business size or certification—are selected based on merit and system-specific expertise. Her acquisitions are exclusively classified under NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), reflecting a deep specialization in systems engineering, weapons integration, and nuclear infrastructure support. She procures advanced technical services including systems architecture development, reliability modeling, test range operations, and secure communications integration, all tailored to the unique demands of strategic deterrence systems.
