Suzanne Morgera

Suzanne Morgera serves as a key procurement professional within Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC) Division Newport, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to advance maritime warfare capabilities through cutting-edge research and development. She manages a portfolio of acquisitions focused on naval sensor systems, electronic warfare components, and integrated communication technologies critical to undersea, surface, and aerial domain superiority. Her work ensures the timely delivery of technically complex solutions that enhance naval operational effectiveness, aligning procurement strategy with the agency’s R&D priorities and defense innovation goals. Morgera maintains strong, ongoing relationships with leading defense and aerospace contractors including Science Applications International Corporation, Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, Astronics Test Systems Inc, Serco Inc, and Mikel Inc. These partnerships reflect a preference for established industry players with proven expertise in advanced maritime systems, test instrumentation, and mission-critical engineering services. Her contracting approach emphasizes technical rigor, performance-based outcomes, and long-term vendor collaboration to support sustained capability development. While the majority of her acquisitions are conducted as full and open competitions—reflecting an 87.5% no set-aside preference—she consistently facilitates 12.5% of awards under Total Small Business Set-Asides in accordance with FAR 19.5. This demonstrates a measured commitment to small business participation, ensuring competitive innovation while maintaining access to specialized technical capabilities essential for classified and high-performance naval systems. Her procurement focus centers on NAICS 511210 (Software Publishers) and 541715 (Research and Development in Physical and Engineering Sciences), with significant activity in engineering services (541330) and computer systems design (541512, 541519). She specializes in acquiring advanced signal processing software, sensor integration platforms, embedded systems, and test & evaluation services that directly support the development and validation of next-generation naval warfare technologies.
