Amber C. Long

Amber Long serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Supply Systems Command Weapon Systems Support Mechanism (NAVSUP WSS Mech, N00104), supporting the operational readiness of U.S. Navy weapon systems through the acquisition of mission-critical mechanical, electrical, and electronic components. Responsible for managing complex contracting actions, she specializes in securing high-reliability machinery, precision valve assemblies, pumping systems, and circuit board subsystems essential for the maintenance, repair, and modernization of naval platforms. Her work directly enables the sustainment of advanced maritime platforms by ensuring timely delivery of technically demanding components that meet stringent military specifications. Amber Long maintains consistent contracting relationships with leading defense and industrial suppliers, most notably Raytheon Company, which appears repeatedly as a prime contractor across multiple award actions. She also regularly engages AMD International Technologies LLC and The Entwistle Company LLC, indicating a preference for established vendors with proven expertise in precision manufacturing and defense-grade component integration. Her contracting patterns reflect a reliance on mature, qualified suppliers capable of delivering complex, low-volume, high-integrity parts under strict quality assurance protocols. Set-asides are rarely utilized in her portfolio, with 99.5% of awards issued under open competition, reflecting a mission-driven focus on technical capability and supply chain reliability over socioeconomic preferences. Only 0.5% of awards are designated as total small business set-asides, suggesting a deliberate prioritization of performance and mission-critical requirements in procurement decisions. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 333998 (miscellaneous general purpose machinery) and 332919 (metal valve and pipe fitting manufacturing), with additional emphasis on current-carrying wiring devices, motor and generator production, and sealing device manufacturing. This technical profile underscores deep expertise in mechanical subsystems and electromechanical components critical to naval weapon system functionality.
