Stacy Crisman serves as a key procurement professional within Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA HQ), supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to sustain and modernize the U.S. fleet through the acquisition of advanced naval systems. She manages complex contracting actions focused on mission-critical electronics, sensor systems, and integrated combat platforms, ensuring alignment with fleet readiness objectives and technological superiority in undersea and surface warfare domains. Her work directly enables the integration of next-generation navigation, detection, and guidance systems across naval vessels, from submarines to surface combatants. Crisman maintains established relationships with leading defense contractors including Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, Huntington Ingalls Incorporated, and G.S.E. Dynamics, Inc., partnering with both prime contractors and specialized technology providers to deliver high-assurance naval systems. Her procurement approach emphasizes collaboration with industry leaders in maritime electronics and systems integration, often leveraging long-term contract vehicles to streamline delivery of complex, high-technology solutions while maintaining rigorous performance and compliance standards. A strong advocate for small business participation, Crisman consistently prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, with approximately two-thirds of her acquisitions reserved for small businesses. This reflects a deliberate strategy to cultivate innovation and capacity within the defense industrial base, ensuring broad vendor participation and fostering competition among qualified small firms across the maritime technology sector. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334511, encompassing the acquisition of search, detection, navigation, and nautical system instrumentation—such as sonar arrays, radar subsystems, and tactical data links—alongside NAICS 334118 for specialized computer peripheral equipment. Crisman’s expertise centers on the integration of ruggedized, shipboard-compatible electronics, demonstrating deep technical fluency in naval electronic warfare, command and control systems, and mission-critical hardware development.
