Stewart Lindsey

Stewart Lindsey 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 acquisitions for critical defense technologies, with a focus on sheet metal fabrication and bare printed circuit board manufacturing essential to naval signal processing, electronic warfare, and precision munitions. His contracting activities directly enable the modernization of expeditionary and surface force capabilities, ensuring timely delivery of mission-critical hardware and subsystems under strict technical and compliance standards. Lindsey maintains consistent partnerships with leading defense contractors including Lockheed Martin Corporation, Integrity Defense Services Inc., and Black Hills Ammunition Inc., reflecting a blend of prime contractor engagement and specialized niche supplier collaboration. He also works closely with niche manufacturers such as Programs Management Analytics & Technologies Inc. and McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, indicating a balanced approach between high-capacity defense integrators and smaller, technically focused vendors. His procurement patterns suggest a preference for established industry partners with proven track records in military-grade manufacturing and systems integration. His contracting portfolio demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with approximately one-third of awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, aligning with Navy socioeconomic goals. While the majority of acquisitions remain open to all competitors, his consistent use of small business set-asides signals active support for capable small manufacturers in the defense industrial base. Lindsey’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 332322 (Sheet Metal Work Manufacturing) and 334412 (Bare Printed Circuit Board Manufacturing), underscoring deep technical expertise in structural and electronic hardware for naval platforms. He procures custom-fabricated enclosures, shielding assemblies, and unpopulated circuit boards used in radar, communications, and electronic countermeasure systems, ensuring compatibility with rigorous military specifications and environmental testing standards.
