Tracy Fields

Tracy Fields serves as a key procurement professional at 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. Responsible for managing complex acquisition cycles, Fields oversees contracts for specialized defense technologies including signal processing hardware, electronic warfare components, and precision sensing systems. Their work directly enables expeditionary and surface force capabilities, ensuring timely delivery of mission-critical systems through compliant, performance-based contracting practices aligned with DoD acquisition regulations. Fields maintains strong working relationships with industry leaders such as Lockheed Martin Corporation and Programs Management Analytics & Technologies Inc., partnering with firms experienced in defense-grade engineering and systems integration. Additional key contractors include Integrity Defense Services Inc. for technical support services and Black Hills Ammunition Inc. for ordnance-related supply chains. These partnerships reflect a preference for established defense contractors with proven track records in classified environments, while also incorporating niche specialists for niche manufacturing and site development needs. Set-aside preferences are heavily skewed toward unrestricted competitions, with 89.5% of awards issued without socioeconomic set-asides. However, a consistent 10.5% of contracts are awarded under Total Small Business Set-Asides (FAR 19.5), demonstrating a measured but intentional commitment to small business participation. While no specific 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB preferences dominate, the agency maintains a baseline level of small business engagement aligned with DoD mandates. The primary NAICS focus areas include 334519 for other measuring and controlling device manufacturing, reflecting demand for custom sensor and control systems, and 332311 for prefabricated metal components used in ruggedized enclosures and test fixtures. Engineering services (541330) and specialized technical support (811219) round out the portfolio, underscoring a technical domain expertise in electronic systems integration, ordnance sustainment, and mission-critical hardware fabrication.
