Wesley C. Giambra

Wesley C. Giambra serves as a Contract Specialist within the Strategic Systems Programs (N00030) under the Department of the Navy, where he plays a critical role in acquiring complex systems that sustain the nation’s sea-based nuclear deterrent. He manages the full lifecycle procurement of technical services and specialized equipment essential to the development, integration, and sustainment of submarine-launched ballistic missile systems and associated command, control, and communications infrastructure. His acquisitions typically involve systems engineering, test and evaluation, software integration, and secure hardware development, ensuring operational readiness and national security compliance. Giambra maintains longstanding relationships with prime contractors including Lockheed Martin Corporation, Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, General Dynamics Mission Systems, Inc., Systems Planning and Analysis, Inc., and JRC Integrated Systems, LLC. These partnerships reflect a focus on high-assurance defense contractors with proven expertise in classified defense programs, secure systems integration, and nuclear-grade reliability standards. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, risk mitigation, and strict adherence to defense acquisition regulations, fostering collaborative, long-term vendor engagements. A strong advocate for small business participation, Giambra consistently prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, directing nearly two-thirds of his acquisitions to small businesses. This pattern underscores a deliberate commitment to expanding the defense industrial base and enabling niche technical firms to contribute to critical national security programs. His socioeconomic contracting strategy aligns with DoD goals to increase small business access to high-technology defense work. His procurement focus centers on NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), reflecting a heavy emphasis on advanced software development, systems analysis, and cyber-enabled mission support. He also regularly procures under NAICS 334310 (Audio and Video Equipment Manufacturing), particularly for secure communication terminals and specialized sensor systems. Giambra’s expertise lies at the intersection of classified defense technology and rigorous acquisition compliance, ensuring mission-critical capabilities are delivered with precision and accountability.
