Elena Geiger

Elena Fish serves as a Procurement Analyst at the Navsup Weapon Systems Support Mechanism (N00104), where she plays a pivotal role in securing mission-critical components that sustain the operational readiness of U.S. Navy weapon systems. Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of acquisitions for high-reliability mechanical, electrical, and electronic subsystems—including pumping systems, valve assemblies, and precision circuit board manufacturing—ensuring compliance with defense acquisition regulations and technical specifications. She supports the agency’s core mission by facilitating timely, compliant procurements that enable maintenance, repair, and modernization of advanced naval platforms, working closely with engineering and logistics teams to align procurement strategy with operational requirements. Elena maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors such as Raytheon Company and The Entwistle Company LLC, often engaging them for complex, technical deliveries requiring stringent quality controls and defense-grade certification. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for established defense industrial base partners with proven track records in military-grade component manufacturing, while also fostering collaboration with specialized small businesses capable of delivering niche, high-precision parts. These partnerships are typically structured through competitive sealed bids and performance-based contracts to ensure accountability and technical fidelity. Her contracting approach prioritizes open competition, with approximately two-thirds of awards issued without set-asides, while maintaining a robust 33.3% commitment to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This balance reflects a strategic emphasis on leveraging small business innovation where feasible, without compromising the reliability and scalability required for naval weapon system sustainment. Elena’s procurement focus centers on NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing) and 339991 (Gasket, Packing, and Sealing Device Manufacturing), with a notable emphasis on sealing systems, fluid control components, and electronic subsystems integral to naval platform integrity. She also engages with educational support services under NAICS 611710 to facilitate technical training and workforce development for maintenance personnel, underscoring her holistic approach to sustaining naval readiness through both hardware and human capital.
