Andrew Emrich

Andrew Emrich serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Supply Systems Command Weapon Systems Support Mechanism (N00104), supporting the operational readiness of U.S. Navy weapon systems through the acquisition of mission-critical mechanical, electrical, and electronic components. He manages contracting actions for high-reliability subsystems essential to the maintenance, repair, and modernization of naval platforms, with a focus on precision fluid systems, valve assemblies, printed circuit boards, and ordnance-related hardware. His work directly enables the sustainment of advanced naval platforms by ensuring timely delivery of technically complex, defense-qualified components that meet stringent military specifications. Emrich maintains consistent contracting relationships with established defense contractors including Raytheon Company, AMD International Technologies LLC, and The Entwistle Company LLC, reflecting a preference for proven vendors with demonstrated capability in delivering defense-grade mechanical and electronic systems. His procurement approach prioritizes technical proficiency, supply chain reliability, and compliance with military standards, often engaging contractors with deep expertise in aerospace-grade manufacturing and naval system integration. These partnerships are characterized by long-term contract performance and repeat award patterns, indicating a trust-based, performance-driven vendor ecosystem. Emrich’s contracting activity shows a 100% preference for full and open competition, with no set-asides designated for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic categories. This reflects a mission-critical focus on technical capability and readiness over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with the agency’s mandate to procure only the highest-assurance components for weapon system sustainment. His primary procurement focus lies within NAICS 332919 (metal valve and pipe fitting manufacturing), 333996 (fluid power pump and motor manufacturing), 334412 (bare printed circuit board manufacturing), and 332994 (small arms and ordnance accessories manufacturing). He specializes in acquiring precision-engineered components for hydraulic systems, control circuitry, and ordnance interfaces, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with defense-specific manufacturing standards and military-qualified supply chains.
