Breanne R. Clippinger

Breanne R. Clippinger serves as a primary procurement lead within the Naval Supply Systems Command Weapon Systems Support Mechanism (NAVSUP WSS Mech), where she plays a critical role in sustaining the operational readiness of U.S. Navy weapon systems through the acquisition of high-reliability mechanical, electrical, and electronic components. She manages the end-to-end contracting lifecycle for mission-critical subsystems, including pumping systems, valve assemblies, circuit board manufacturing, and precision machinery essential for the maintenance and modernization of naval platforms. Her work directly supports the Navy’s force readiness objectives by ensuring timely delivery of components that meet stringent military specifications and environmental durability standards. Clippinger maintains consistent partnerships with leading defense contractors, most notably Raytheon Company, which appears repeatedly as a key vendor across multiple contract actions. She also engages with specialized industrial suppliers such as AMD International Technologies LLC and The Entwistle Company LLC, indicating a preference for established Tier-1 and niche manufacturers with proven capabilities in defense-grade component fabrication. Her contracting patterns reflect a reliance on proven, qualified vendors with deep technical expertise in military-grade systems, emphasizing performance, reliability, and compliance with defense supply chain requirements. Her procurement activity is overwhelmingly non-set-aside, with 98% of awards issued under full and open competition, reflecting a mission-critical focus on technical capability over socioeconomic preferences. While small business participation is minimal at 2%, it aligns with the agency’s need for specialized industrial capacity that few small firms can provide at the required scale and certification level. Clippinger’s primary NAICS focus areas include 332919 (metal valve and pipe fitting manufacturing), 333998 (miscellaneous general purpose machinery), and 332216 (saw blade and handtool manufacturing), underscoring her specialization in precision mechanical systems and industrial components. She routinely procures high-tolerance parts, switchgear, transformer assemblies, and other mission-critical hardware integral to weapon system functionality, demonstrating deep domain expertise in defense mechanical engineering procurement.
