Connor Lewis serves as a procurement specialist within Navsup Weapon Systems Support, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to sustain and modernize naval aviation and weapon systems. He manages the acquisition of mission-critical components including avionics, aircraft auxiliary equipment, and precision navigation and guidance systems, ensuring operational readiness across legacy and next-generation platforms. His work directly enables the maintenance, repair, and upgrade of aircraft systems, power generation units, and mission-critical electronics used by U.S. Navy and allied forces. Lewis operates within a high-stakes technical environment where supply chain resilience and interoperability are paramount, and he coordinates closely with engineering and logistics teams to align procurement with technical specifications and lifecycle support requirements. Lewis engages with a diverse base of manufacturers and systems integrators specializing in aerospace and defense electronics. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he consistently works with firms capable of meeting stringent military specifications, including those producing custom aircraft parts, radar and communication subsystems, and precision instrumentation. His contracting approach emphasizes technical compliance, performance-based outcomes, and vendor reliability over cost alone, fostering long-term partnerships with suppliers who can deliver qualified, traceable components under tight operational timelines. Lewis’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic prioritization of technical capability and supply chain continuity over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with the critical nature of the systems he supports. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in his portfolio, vendors of all sizes are evaluated equally on technical merit, past performance, and ability to meet military standards. His primary focus lies in NAICS 336413 for other aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment, with significant activity in 334511 for aeronautical systems and 334210 for telecommunications apparatus. He specializes in procuring high-reliability electronics, flight control components, and embedded systems used in naval aircraft, demonstrating deep familiarity with MIL-STD and DO-160 compliance requirements.
