Jason L. Horne

Jason L. Horne serves as a key procurement lead within the Naval Supply Systems Command Weapon Systems Support Mechanism (NAVSUP WSS Mech, N00104), where he manages the acquisition of mission-critical mechanical, electrical, and electronic components essential to sustaining U.S. Navy weapon systems. His responsibilities center on securing high-reliability machinery, precision valve assemblies, pumping systems, and circuit board manufacturing capabilities required for maintenance, repair, and modernization of naval platforms. He operates within a highly technical acquisition environment, ensuring compliance with defense standards for durability, performance, and interoperability across complex naval architectures. Horne maintains consistent procurement relationships with industry leaders such as Raytheon Company and AMD International Technologies LLC, partnering primarily with established defense contractors capable of delivering precision-engineered subsystems under stringent military specifications. His working relationships reflect a preference for proven vendors with demonstrated expertise in aerospace-grade manufacturing, electro-mechanical integration, and rapid prototyping of mission-critical components. These partnerships are built on long-term reliability, technical compliance, and on-time delivery performance rather than competitive bidding alone. Horne’s contracting activity shows a 100% preference for non-set-aside awards, indicating a focus on technical capability and mission urgency over socioeconomic classifications. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in his portfolio, this reflects the specialized nature of the components procured—requiring advanced manufacturing infrastructure and defense-specific certifications that are often held only by larger, established suppliers. His primary procurement focus lies under NAICS 333998, encompassing all other miscellaneous general-purpose machinery manufacturing, with an emphasis on custom-engineered mechanical and electro-mechanical systems. He specializes in acquiring high-tolerance components for naval propulsion, fluid control, and embedded electronics, requiring deep technical understanding of MIL-SPEC, ASME, and IEEE standards to ensure operational readiness of critical naval weapon systems.
