Gregory Blissman

Gregory C. Blissman serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Supply Systems Command Weapon Systems Support Mechanism (NAVSUP WSS Mech), supporting the operational readiness of U.S. Navy weapon systems through the acquisition of mission-critical mechanical and electronic components. He manages contracts for high-reliability subsystems essential to the maintenance, repair, and modernization of naval platforms, with a focus on pumping systems, valve assemblies, circuit board manufacturing, and precision machinery. His work directly enables the sustainment of advanced naval platforms by ensuring timely delivery of technically complex, defense-grade components that meet stringent military specifications. Blissman maintains consistent working relationships with established defense contractors including Raytheon Company, AMD International Technologies LLC, and The Entwistle Company LLC, reflecting a preference for proven suppliers with demonstrated capability in defense-grade manufacturing and systems integration. His contracting patterns indicate a reliance on experienced industry partners with deep technical expertise in naval systems, often selecting vendors with long-standing track records in delivering high-reliability components under strict quality and delivery standards. His procurement activity shows no preference for socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a mission-driven emphasis on technical capability and readiness over socioeconomic targeting, prioritizing performance, reliability, and supply chain resilience in support of national defense objectives. Blissman’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 333914 (pumping equipment), 333998 (miscellaneous machinery), and 334412 (bare printed circuit board manufacturing), underscoring his technical expertise in fluid control systems, electromechanical assemblies, and electronic hardware critical to weapon system functionality. He specializes in acquiring precision-engineered components that operate under extreme environmental conditions, requiring rigorous qualification and compliance with MIL-SPEC standards.
