Joshua T. Pomraning

Joshua Pomraning serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Supply Systems Command Weapon Systems Support Mechanism (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 machinery, precision valve assemblies, pumping systems, and specialized circuit board manufacturing, ensuring sustained readiness of naval platforms. His work directly enables maintenance, repair, and modernization efforts across the fleet, with a focus on technical specifications requiring rigorous military standards and supply chain resilience. Pomraning maintains consistent contracting relationships with leading defense and industrial suppliers, including Raytheon Company, AMD International Technologies LLC, and The Entwistle Company LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established contractors with proven expertise in defense-grade manufacturing, subsystem integration, and certified production environments. His contracting patterns indicate a reliance on experienced vendors capable of meeting stringent military specifications for components used in high-stress, mission-critical applications, with repeat engagements signaling trust in technical capability and delivery reliability. His procurement activity shows an overwhelming preference for open, unrestricted competitions, with 99.4% of awards issued without set-asides. This reflects a mission-driven prioritization of technical capability and supply chain continuity over socioeconomic program participation, with only minor allocations directed toward small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. While small business engagement is present, it is not a primary driver of his acquisition strategy, aligning instead with the agency’s emphasis on performance and reliability in defense-critical systems. Pomraning’s portfolio is dominated by NAICS 333998 (miscellaneous general purpose machinery) and 325199 (basic organic chemical manufacturing), indicating deep specialization in mechanical subsystems and specialty chemical formulations essential for weapon system sustainment. He routinely procures precision hardware, industrial pumps, valve assemblies, and advanced polymer-based components, demonstrating expertise in technical domains requiring compliance with MIL-SPEC, ASTM, and other defense-industry standards.
