Daniel R. MacPhee

Daniel R. MacPhee serves as a key procurement professional within Navsup Weapon Systems Support, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to sustain and modernize naval aviation and weapon systems. He manages complex acquisitions for mission-critical components, including aircraft subsystems, avionics, power generation units, and specialized electronic equipment essential to fleet readiness. His work directly enables the maintenance, repair, and upgrade of legacy and next-generation platforms, ensuring operational continuity across naval air wings and allied forces. MacPhee handles full lifecycle contracting actions—from requirements definition to contract award and administration—focusing on high-reliability, defense-qualified hardware and engineered solutions. MacPhee collaborates with a diverse base of defense contractors specializing in aerospace and electronic manufacturing, including firms with AS9100 and ITAR compliance credentials. His procurement patterns reflect a preference for established suppliers with proven track records in military-grade component fabrication and systems integration. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he consistently engages vendors capable of rapid turnaround, technical documentation compliance, and supply chain traceability under strict defense standards. MacPhee’s contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on technical capability and supply chain resilience over socioeconomic preferences, though he remains attentive to small business participation where it aligns with mission-critical performance requirements. His approach prioritizes performance, reliability, and interoperability over socioeconomic categorization. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336413 for other aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment, with significant activity in motor vehicle electronics (336320), metal valve and pipe fittings (332919), communications equipment (334290), and current-carrying wiring devices (335931). He specializes in procuring ruggedized electrical systems, sensor interfaces, and mission-critical hardware designed for harsh maritime environments, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with MIL-SPEC and DO-160 standards.
