Steve Seghi

Steve Seghi 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. He manages complex research and development contracts focused on precision sensing, signal processing, electronic warfare, and radar detection technologies critical to naval expeditionary and surface warfare capabilities. His acquisitions primarily involve high-tech engineering services and systems integration for next-generation defense platforms, ensuring alignment with Navy modernization priorities and technical readiness requirements. Seghi maintains sustained working relationships with leading defense contractors including Lockheed Martin Corporation, Programs Management Analytics & Technologies Inc., and Integrity Defense Services Inc., partnering with firms capable of delivering specialized R&D in electronic systems and mission-critical instrumentation. His procurement approach emphasizes technical proficiency and proven performance, favoring contractors with deep expertise in electromagnetic spectrum operations, signal intelligence, and weapons system sustainment. These partnerships are characterized by long-term engagement, technical collaboration, and iterative contract performance to meet evolving operational needs. There is no preference for socioeconomic set-asides in Seghi’s portfolio; all acquisitions are conducted as full and open competitions, reflecting the specialized, mission-critical nature of the technologies involved. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, the technical rigor of the requirements naturally limits the pool of qualified vendors, resulting in a procurement landscape dominated by large, established defense contractors with advanced engineering capabilities. His primary focus is on NAICS 541715—Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences—where he procures advanced electronic warfare suites, electro-optical sensors, radar signal analysis tools, and integrated command and control subsystems. His domain expertise centers on the design, prototyping, and field validation of classified and unclassified defense technologies essential to naval superiority in contested electromagnetic environments.
