Darrin Weaver

Darrin Weaver supports the Navsup Weapon Systems Support Mech (N00104) in procuring mission-critical mechanical and electro-mechanical components essential to the sustainment and modernization of U.S. Navy weapon systems. While formal title information is not available, their procurement activities center on high-reliability valve assemblies, precision pipe fittings, and related subsystems critical to naval platform operations. Weaver ensures timely acquisition of components that maintain operational readiness across surface and submarine fleets, aligning acquisitions with Navy engineering standards and quality assurance protocols for defense-critical hardware. Weaver maintains consistent relationships with key defense industrial base partners, including Raytheon Company and AMD International Technologies LLC, both of which provide advanced mechanical and electronic subsystems for naval applications. The Entwistle Company LLC is also a recurring contractor, indicating a preference for vendors with proven expertise in specialized metal fitting manufacturing and military-grade component integration. These partnerships reflect a focus on trusted suppliers with established quality control systems and defense supply chain certifications. Weaver demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with over 57% of procurements structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This pattern underscores a deliberate strategy to cultivate capability within the small business industrial base, particularly among firms qualified in precision manufacturing and defense-compliant fabrication. The absence of set-asides in the remaining 43% suggests targeted sole-source or competitive acquisitions for specialized technical requirements where only a limited number of qualified vendors exist. The agency’s procurement activity is exclusively focused on NAICS 332919—Other Metal Valve and Pipe Fitting Manufacturing—indicating deep technical specialization in the sourcing of custom-engineered valves, actuators, and fluid control components. Weaver’s expertise lies in acquiring high-integrity, corrosion-resistant, and pressure-rated fittings designed for harsh marine environments, ensuring compatibility with naval hydraulic, coolant, and propulsion systems. This narrow but critical domain requires intimate knowledge of ASME B16 standards, MIL-SPEC requirements, and materials compliance for defense applications.
