Christie Kitzmiller

Christie Kitzmiller serves as a key procurement specialist within the Naval Supply Systems Command Weapon Systems Support Mechanism (NAVSUP WSS Mech, N00104), responsible for acquiring mission-critical mechanical, electrical, and electronic components that sustain the operational readiness of U.S. Navy weapon systems. She manages the end-to-end contracting lifecycle for high-reliability subsystems including pumping systems, valve assemblies, and precision circuitry, ensuring timely delivery of components critical to the maintenance, repair, and modernization of naval platforms. Her work directly supports the agency’s core mission of maintaining combat-ready fleets through the acquisition of technically complex, defense-grade hardware. Kitzmiller maintains consistent, high-volume contracting relationships with industry leaders such as Raytheon Company and AMD International Technologies LLC, partnering primarily with established defense contractors possessing the technical certifications and production capabilities required for classified and mission-essential components. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for proven vendors with demonstrated expertise in aerospace-grade manufacturing and defense-compliant supply chains, fostering long-term vendor partnerships built on reliability, compliance, and performance history. Her contracting activity shows no preference for socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a mission-driven focus on technical capability and readiness over socioeconomic criteria, prioritizing performance and supply chain resilience in a high-stakes operational environment. Kitzmiller’s procurement portfolio is concentrated in two primary NAICS categories: 334413 for semiconductor and related device manufacturing, and 333998 for miscellaneous general-purpose machinery. She specializes in procuring precision electronic components, circuit board assemblies, and mechanical subsystems requiring stringent MIL-SPEC compliance, demonstrating deep expertise in defense electronics and mechanical systems integration critical to naval weapon system sustainment.
