Aaron Heit

Aaron Heit serves as a secondary procurement specialist within the Naval Supply Systems Command Weapon Systems Support Mechanism (NAVSUP WSS Mech, N00104), supporting the operational sustainment of U.S. Navy weapon systems through the acquisition of mission-critical mechanical, electrical, and electronic components. He plays a key role in facilitating the procurement of high-reliability subsystems including pumping systems, valve assemblies, and precision circuit board manufacturing, ensuring the continued readiness of advanced naval platforms. His responsibilities center on executing contract actions aligned with technical specifications for defense-grade hardware, often coordinating with technical evaluators and logistics teams to validate compliance with naval engineering standards. Heit maintains consistent working relationships with established defense contractors, most notably Raytheon Company and The Entwistle Company LLC, with whom he collaborates on the procurement of specialized communications equipment and embedded electronic subsystems. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for proven industry partners with demonstrated capability in military-grade component manufacturing, emphasizing reliability, traceability, and adherence to MIL-STD and AS9100 quality frameworks. Vendor partnerships are typically long-term and performance-driven, with a focus on technical fidelity over cost alone. His procurement activity shows no reliance on socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a mission-critical focus on technical capability and supply chain assurance, prioritizing performance and interoperability over socioeconomic preferences in this domain. Heit’s primary focus lies in NAICS 334290 (Other Communications Equipment Manufacturing), where he procures advanced electronic assemblies, signal conditioning modules, and ruggedized communication hardware essential to naval weapon system integration. His technical expertise spans the procurement of mission-critical components requiring stringent environmental and electromagnetic compatibility testing, underscoring his deep familiarity with defense electronics manufacturing standards and supply chain rigor.
