Darian M Holley

Darian M. Holley serves as a primary procurement lead within the Naval Supply Systems Command Weapon Systems Support Mechanism (NAVSUP WSS Mech, N00104), responsible for managing the acquisition of mission-critical mechanical, electrical, and electronic components essential to the sustainment and modernization of U.S. Navy weapon systems. Holley oversees contracts for high-reliability subsystems including pumping systems, valve assemblies, precision circuitry, and avionics hardware, ensuring operational readiness across naval platforms through timely, compliant, and technically rigorous sourcing. Their work directly supports the agency’s core mission of maintaining the integrity and functionality of advanced naval weaponry through strategic acquisition of components that meet stringent military specifications. Holley maintains consistent contracting relationships with industry leaders such as Raytheon Company and AMD International Technologies LLC, often engaging these prime contractors for complex, integrated systems requiring defense-grade certification and supply chain traceability. The recurring partnerships reflect a preference for established defense contractors with proven capabilities in aerospace and defense electronics, while also engaging specialized firms like The Entwistle Company LLC for niche mechanical and electro-mechanical components. These relationships are characterized by long-term performance reliability and technical alignment with Navy platform requirements. Set-aside preferences are overwhelmingly dominated by open competition, with 98.3% of awards issued without socioeconomic set-asides, indicating a primary focus on technical merit and mission necessity over socioeconomic criteria. While small business participation is minimal at 1.7%, it is strategically directed toward total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, suggesting a selective but compliant approach to fostering small business involvement where technical capability permits. Holley’s procurement focus centers on NAICS categories including 335931 (current-carrying wiring devices), 334419 (other electronic components), and 334511 (navigation and guidance systems), with notable activity in bare printed circuit board manufacturing (334412) and engine equipment (333618). Their expertise lies in acquiring precision electronic subsystems, control circuitry, and mechanical interfaces critical to weapon system functionality, demonstrating deep familiarity with defense electronics manufacturing standards and military-grade component specifications.
