Joseph R Roebuck

Joseph R. Roebuck 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 subsystems—including pumping systems, valve assemblies, and precision circuitry—required for the maintenance, repair, and modernization of naval platforms. Roebuck’s acquisitions directly support operational readiness by ensuring the availability of components that meet stringent military specifications and environmental durability standards. He maintains consistent working relationships with industry leaders such as Raytheon Company and AMD International Technologies LLC, partnering primarily with established defense contractors capable of delivering complex, low-volume, high-integrity components under strict quality control protocols. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for proven vendors with proven track records in defense-grade manufacturing, particularly in explosive components and electronic subsystems, indicating a reliance on trusted suppliers with specialized technical certifications and DoD supply chain compliance. Roebuck’s contracting activity is overwhelmingly non-set-aside, with 88.5% of awards issued without socioeconomic restrictions, reflecting the specialized nature of the requirements. However, he maintains a measured commitment to small business participation, with 7.7% of awards allocated to total small business set-asides and 3.9% directed to HUBZone firms, demonstrating selective but intentional inclusion of qualified small entities where technical capability permits. His procurement focus is dominated by NAICS 325920 (Explosives Manufacturing), accounting for 95.8% of activity, underscoring deep expertise in the acquisition of ordnance-related components, including detonators, propellant systems, and safety-critical munitions subsystems. The remaining 4.2% centers on NAICS 334419 (Other Electronic Component Manufacturing), highlighting his role in sourcing custom circuit boards and embedded control systems critical to weapon system functionality and electronic warfare integration.
