Christopher David Weiss

Christopher David Weiss serves as a Purchasing Agent for the Commanding Officer (N63394) under the Department of the Navy, where he plays a critical role in securing mission-critical aerospace components, electronic warfare systems, and advanced communications infrastructure to sustain naval aviation readiness. His procurement activities directly support the modernization of sensor technologies, secure data links, and integrated avionics platforms essential to fleet operational capability. Weiss manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions governed by Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) protocols, with a focus on high-integrity, low-volume contracts requiring stringent technical compliance and cybersecurity assurance. Weiss maintains strategic relationships with leading defense contractors including AEROSPACE & COMMERCIAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLC and LOCKHEED MARTIN CORPORATION, partnering primarily with prime vendors capable of delivering complex, classified, or ITAR-controlled systems. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established defense-industrial base suppliers with proven track records in rapid prototyping, systems integration, and government-compliant supply chain management. These relationships are characterized by long-term technical alignment and reliance on vendor-specific engineering support for mission-critical upgrades. His set-aside preferences are predominantly non-set-aside, accounting for 75% of awards, with a modest but consistent allocation to Local Area Set-Asides (19.4%) under FAR 26.2 and a small but intentional focus on Total Small Business Set-Asides (5.6%) under FAR 19.5. While not heavily reliant on socioeconomic programs, Weiss ensures compliance with small business participation goals through subcontracting obligations and targeted outreach to qualified local vendors. Weiss’s procurement activity centers on NAICS codes including 333924 (industrial material handling equipment), 334310 (audio/video equipment manufacturing), and 336120 (heavy-duty truck manufacturing), reflecting an unusual but operationally grounded focus on niche support systems for aviation maintenance, field-deployable electronics, and ground-based logistics platforms. His expertise lies in procuring specialized, non-standard components that bridge commercial-off-the-shelf technologies with military-grade ruggedization requirements.
