Alana M. Boyer serves as a primary procurement lead within the Naval Supply Systems Command Weapon Systems Support Mechanism (NAVSUP WSS Mech, N00104), where she manages critical acquisitions to sustain the operational readiness of U.S. Navy weapon systems. Her responsibilities encompass the end-to-end contracting of high-reliability mechanical, electrical, and electronic components essential for maintenance, repair, and modernization of naval platforms. She specializes in procuring mission-critical subsystems including pumping systems, valve assemblies, precision fasteners, and circuit board components, ensuring compliance with stringent military specifications and quality assurance standards. Boyer maintains consistent relationships with key industrial partners including Raytheon Company, AMD International Technologies LLC, and The Entwistle Company LLC, reflecting a preference for established defense contractors with proven track records in defense-grade manufacturing. Her contracting patterns emphasize long-term supplier reliability, technical certification compliance, and just-in-time delivery of components integrated into complex weapon system architectures. These partnerships are typically non-set-aside, reflecting the technical complexity and low supplier base for specialized naval components. Her set-aside preferences are overwhelmingly aligned with open competition, with 97.8% of awards issued without socioeconomic set-asides, indicating a procurement strategy prioritizing technical capability and mission necessity over socioeconomic preferences. Only 2.2% of awards are designated as total small business set-asides, suggesting a deliberate focus on sourcing from vendors with proven defense-grade engineering and production capacity rather than socioeconomic categories. Boyer’s procurement focus centers on NAICS 332919 (metal valve and pipe fitting manufacturing) and 332722 (bolt, nut, screw, and washer manufacturing), underscoring her expertise in mechanical subsystems critical to naval propulsion, fluid control, and structural integrity. She also oversees acquisitions in 339991 (gasket and sealing devices) and 335931 (current-carrying wiring devices), demonstrating deep technical domain knowledge in precision mechanical and electrical components essential for weapon system reliability and environmental resilience.
