Courtney J. Schlusser

Courtney Schlusser serves as a Contract Specialist within the Naval Supply Systems Command Weapon Systems Support Mechanism (NAVSUP WSS Mech, N00104), where she plays a pivotal role in securing mission-critical components that sustain the operational readiness of U.S. Navy weapon systems. She manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for high-reliability mechanical, electrical, and electronic subsystems, including pumping systems, valve assemblies, circuit board manufacturing, and ordnance accessories. Her work directly supports the maintenance, repair, and modernization of naval platforms, ensuring that advanced maritime platforms remain combat-ready through timely and compliant acquisition of precision-engineered components. Schlusser maintains consistent contracting relationships with industry leaders such as Raytheon Company and The Entwistle Company LLC, partnering with established defense contractors experienced in delivering complex, high-integrity systems to military specifications. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for proven vendors with demonstrated capability in aerospace and naval systems integration, often leveraging firm-fixed-price and performance-based contract structures to ensure accountability and technical fidelity. These long-standing vendor partnerships emphasize reliability, technical compliance, and supply chain resilience. Schlusser’s contracting portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on technical superiority and mission-critical performance over socioeconomic set-asides, aligning with the agency’s priority to secure the highest-grade components without restriction. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her portfolio, all procurements adhere strictly to federal acquisition regulations and competitive bidding standards. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334511 for search, detection, and navigation systems, alongside specialized acquisitions in pumping equipment manufacturing (333914) and ordnance accessories (332994). She specializes in procuring precision-engineered subsystems for naval combat systems, demonstrating deep familiarity with military standards such as MIL-SPEC and AS9100, and a strong command of technical requirements for ruggedized electronics and mechanical assemblies.
