Jon Zeigler

Jon Zeigler serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Supply Systems Command Weapon Systems Support Mechanism (NAVSUP WSS Mech, N00104), supporting the operational readiness of U.S. Navy weapon systems through the acquisition of mission-critical mechanical, electrical, and electronic components. He manages complex contracting actions for high-reliability subsystems essential to the maintenance, repair, and modernization of naval platforms, with a focus on precision machinery, pumping systems, valve assemblies, and printed circuit board manufacturing. His work ensures the sustained functionality of advanced naval platforms by securing components that meet stringent military specifications and quality assurance standards. Zeigler maintains consistent contracting relationships with industry leaders such as Raytheon Company and The Entwistle Company LLC, alongside specialized suppliers like AMD International Technologies LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established defense industrial base vendors capable of delivering high-integrity, defense-grade components under tight technical and schedule constraints. His contracting patterns indicate a reliance on experienced contractors with proven track records in naval systems support, emphasizing technical capability, quality control, and supply chain resilience over frequent vendor rotation. His procurement strategy prioritizes open competition, with 97% of acquisitions conducted without set-aside restrictions, reflecting a mission-critical focus on capability and availability over socioeconomic preferences. While small business participation is minimal at 3%, it is strategically applied where technical requirements align with qualified small business capabilities under FAR 19.5, indicating a disciplined, performance-driven approach to socioeconomic contracting. Zeigler’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 333998 (miscellaneous general purpose machinery), particularly pumping and fluid control systems, alongside specialized acquisitions in valve manufacturing (332919), bare printed circuit board production (334412), and current-carrying wiring devices (335931). His expertise centers on electromechanical subsystems critical to weapon system functionality, demonstrating deep familiarity with defense-specific manufacturing standards and naval engineering requirements.
