Ashleigh V Young

Ashleigh Young supports the procurement mission of Navsup Weapon Systems Support by managing the acquisition of critical components and specialized equipment essential to the sustainment and modernization of U.S. Navy aviation and weapon systems. She oversees the end-to-end contracting process for mission-critical hardware, including aircraft subsystems, avionics, power generation units, and precision electronic assemblies, ensuring alignment with operational readiness goals. Her work directly enables the maintenance and upgrade of legacy and next-generation naval platforms, with a focus on securing reliable supply chains for high-reliability, defense-grade components. She engages in complex solicitation development, source selection, and contract administration for technically demanding procurements requiring stringent compliance with military specifications. While specific contractor names are not available, Ashleigh collaborates with a broad spectrum of defense industrial base vendors, including Tier 1 aerospace manufacturers, niche suppliers of certified avionics hardware, and specialized metalworking firms capable of meeting MIL-STD and AS9100 quality standards. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established, certified suppliers with proven track records in military-grade production, often requiring long-term support agreements and technical data packages. She fosters partnerships with vendors who demonstrate robust quality control, traceability, and rapid response capabilities for urgent fleet sustainment needs. Ashleigh’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. This reflects the technical specificity and mission-critical nature of the items procured, where qualification requirements often preclude participation by smaller or less-certified entities. While small business set-asides are not utilized, she ensures compliance with all socioeconomic reporting requirements and maintains transparency in sourcing decisions based on technical merit and supply chain resilience. Her primary focus lies in NAICS 336413, encompassing other aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment, with additional emphasis on current-carrying wiring devices, metal valve and pipe fittings, and turbine generator systems. She specializes in procuring high-integrity electrical connectors, hydraulic actuators, and precision-machined components used in flight control, power distribution, and propulsion systems, demonstrating deep familiarity with military aerospace engineering standards and technical specifications.
