Chase Fullerton

SSgt Chase Fullerton serves as a secondary procurement representative within the Commanding Officer’s office (N63394), supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to sustain and modernize naval aviation and electronic warfare systems. Though not the lead contracting officer, Fullerton plays a critical role in facilitating acquisition planning, vendor coordination, and contract administration for mission-critical aerospace components, secure communications systems, and advanced electronic assembly services. His work ensures timely delivery of technical solutions that enhance aircraft readiness and cybersecurity-enabled operational capabilities across naval aviation platforms. Fullerton maintains strategic relationships with key defense contractors including Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC and Lockheed Martin Corporation, primarily engaging them for specialized engineering services and high-reliability avionics procurement. His collaboration patterns reflect a preference for established industry partners with proven track records in military-grade system integration, while also supporting smaller vendors through set-aside mechanisms. These partnerships are managed with a focus on technical compliance, delivery timelines, and supply chain resilience. Fullerton demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with over two-thirds of his supported acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. He consistently prioritizes small business participation, including a notable emphasis on Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, aligning with Department of the Navy mandates to broaden vendor diversity and foster innovation from non-traditional defense contractors. Despite the agency’s focus on aerospace and electronic warfare, the NAICS codes associated with Fullerton’s portfolio include unexpected categories such as Ambulance Services and Septic Tank Services—indicative of administrative or indirect support contracts tied to base operations rather than core mission systems. His technical expertise lies in identifying and validating procurement needs for high-integrity aviation and EW components, ensuring alignment with naval operational requirements and defense acquisition regulations.
