Andrew Baker

Andrew Baker serves as a Reprocurement specialist within the Naval Supply Systems Command Weapon Systems Support Mechanism (NAVSUP WSS Mech, N00104), where he manages the reacquisition of mission-critical components to sustain the operational readiness of U.S. Navy weapon systems. His role focuses on reprocuring high-reliability mechanical, electrical, and electronic subsystems—including pumping systems, valve assemblies, and precision circuitry—ensuring continuity of supply for aging and modernized naval platforms. He handles competitive and sole-source reprocurements under fixed-price and cost-reimbursement contract types, prioritizing technical compliance, supply chain resilience, and lifecycle support for complex naval instrumentation. Baker maintains consistent working relationships with key defense contractors, most notably Raytheon Company, which is frequently engaged for advanced electronics and subsystem reprocurement. He also collaborates with AMD International Technologies LLC and The Entwistle Company LLC, firms known for specialized manufacturing and repair of mission-critical components. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established, qualified vendors with proven track records in defense-grade production, emphasizing technical certification, quality control, and long-term sustainment capabilities over frequent vendor rotation. Baker’s procurement activity exhibits no set-aside preferences, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on technical capability and supply chain reliability over socioeconomic set-asides, aligning with the agency’s priority to maintain uninterrupted support for high-priority naval platforms where performance and certification outweigh socioeconomic objectives. His primary NAICS focus areas include 334412 (bare printed circuit board manufacturing), 334515 (instrument manufacturing for electrical signal measurement), 334290 (other communications equipment), and 335311 (power and specialty transformer manufacturing). He specializes in procuring precision electronic subsystems, test instrumentation, and power distribution components essential for the maintenance and modernization of naval combat systems, demonstrating deep technical expertise in defense electronics and electromechanical sustainment.
