Ashleigh 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. Her work ensures the operational readiness of naval aircraft, avionics, power generation systems, and mission-critical electronics by facilitating timely access to high-reliability hardware and technical support services. She handles complex, technically demanding contracts requiring deep domain expertise in aerospace and defense systems, often coordinating with engineering and logistics teams to align procurement strategy with fleet maintenance schedules and modernization roadmaps. While specific contractor names are not available, Ashleigh engages with a broad spectrum of manufacturers and Tier 1 suppliers specializing in precision-machined parts, aircraft subsystems, and military-grade electronics. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for established industrial base partners with proven capability in meeting stringent MIL-SPEC and AS9100 quality standards. She frequently collaborates with vendors capable of supporting long-life-cycle platforms, including those providing obsolescence management, reverse engineering, and sustainment solutions for legacy systems. Ashleigh’s contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, reflecting the specialized nature of the equipment procured and the limited pool of qualified suppliers capable of meeting technical and security requirements. This reflects a strategic focus on mission-critical performance over socioeconomic preferences, though she remains attentive to small business participation where technically feasible and compliant with federal acquisition regulations. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 333998 (miscellaneous machinery), 336413 (aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment), and 334511 (aeronautical systems and instrumentation), indicating deep engagement with propulsion components, flight control systems, radar interfaces, and communication hardware. She specializes in sourcing high-integrity components for embedded systems, electronic warfare suites, and power distribution units critical to naval aviation platforms, demonstrating strong technical fluency in aerospace manufacturing and defense electronics supply chains.
