Jason Horne

Jason Horne serves as a key procurement professional 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 sustaining U.S. Navy weapon systems. His work directly supports the operational readiness of naval platforms by securing high-reliability subsystems, including precision valve assemblies, pumping systems, and circuit board manufacturing capabilities. He oversees the full lifecycle of contract actions—from requirements definition through award and administration—ensuring compliance with Department of Defense acquisition regulations and technical specifications for defense-grade electronics. Horne maintains consistent contracting relationships with industry leaders such as Raytheon Company and The Entwistle Company LLC, partnering primarily with established defense contractors possessing specialized expertise in military-grade electronic component manufacturing and system integration. His procurement approach emphasizes proven technical capability, quality assurance compliance, and supply chain resilience, often favoring vendors with long-standing track records in delivering ruggedized, Navy-certified components under stringent environmental and performance standards. Horne’s contracting activity reflects a 100% preference for unrestricted, non-set-aside procurements, indicating a focus on technical merit and mission-critical performance over socioeconomic preferences. This pattern underscores the urgency and precision required in sustaining advanced naval systems, where availability, reliability, and certification outweigh small business set-aside criteria in the current operational context. His primary procurement focus lies within NAICS 334419—Other Electronic Component Manufacturing—where he acquires custom circuit boards, sensor interfaces, control modules, and other high-integrity electronic subsystems critical to weapon system functionality. His domain expertise centers on defense electronics manufacturing, with deep familiarity in MIL-STD compliance, conformal coating standards, and lead-free soldering processes required for naval environments.
