Christina J Newcomb

Christina J. Newcomb serves as a key procurement specialist within the Naval Supply Systems Command Weapon Systems Support Mechanism (NAVSUP WSS Mech, N00104), where she manages the acquisition of mission-critical mechanical and electro-mechanical components essential to the sustainment and modernization of U.S. Navy weapon systems. Her work directly supports operational readiness by securing high-reliability parts including precision fasteners, valve assemblies, and specialized metal stampings used in naval platforms. She handles complex contracting actions under full and open competition, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while prioritizing technical performance, supply chain resilience, and lifecycle support for critical subsystems. Newcomb maintains consistent contracting relationships with established defense suppliers, most notably Raytheon Company, which frequently serves as a prime contractor for integrated component assemblies and subsystems. She also collaborates with specialized manufacturers such as AMD International Technologies LLC and The Entwistle Company LLC, leveraging their expertise in precision metal fabrication and high-integrity component production. Her vendor partnerships reflect a preference for proven, qualified suppliers with demonstrated capability in military-grade manufacturing standards, emphasizing quality control, traceability, and defense-specific certifications. Newcomb’s procurement portfolio is entirely structured under full and open competition, with no set-asides designated for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic categories. This reflects a mission-driven focus on technical necessity and supply chain reliability over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with the agency’s imperative to maintain uninterrupted readiness of weapon systems. Her primary acquisition focus lies in NAICS 332722 (Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, and Washer Manufacturing), which constitutes 75% of her activity, alongside specialized procurement in metal valve and pipe fitting manufacturing (332919), rubber and plastic hosing (326220), and non-automotive metal stamping (332119). She possesses deep technical familiarity with military-grade fastening systems, fluid control components, and precision metal parts critical to propulsion, hydraulic, and electrical subsystems aboard naval vessels and weapon platforms.
