Jason R Taylor

Mr. Jason Taylor 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 include overseeing the sourcing of high-reliability subsystems such as industrial valves, pumping systems, and precision circuit board assemblies, ensuring operational readiness across naval platforms. He specializes in complex technical procurements requiring strict compliance with military specifications and quality assurance standards, with a focus on maintenance, repair, and modernization of advanced naval equipment. Mr. Taylor maintains consistent working relationships with industry leaders including Raytheon Company, AMD International Technologies LLC, and The Entwistle Company LLC, reflecting a preference for established defense contractors with proven capabilities in defense-grade manufacturing and systems integration. His contracting patterns emphasize long-term vendor partnerships grounded in technical expertise, supply chain resilience, and adherence to defense industrial base requirements, often leveraging blanket purchase agreements and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles to meet urgent operational needs. While 70% of his acquisitions are unrestricted, Mr. Taylor demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, consistently allocating 30% of his portfolio to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. His contracting approach actively supports small businesses with proven capabilities in precision machining, chemical processing, and mechanical assembly, aligning with the Department of the Navy’s socioeconomic goals without compromising technical performance or mission readiness. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 332911 (Industrial Valve Manufacturing), accounting for nearly half of his activity, followed by 325180 and 325199 for inorganic and organic chemical manufacturing critical to corrosion-resistant coatings and fluid systems. He also regularly procures fasteners under NAICS 332722, demonstrating deep technical expertise in mechanical subsystems that underpin naval platform durability and performance.
