Larry Strohecker

Larry Strohecker serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Supply Systems Command Weapon Systems Support Mechanism (NAVSUP WSS Mech, N00104), where he facilitates the acquisition of mission-critical mechanical, electrical, and electronic components essential to sustaining U.S. Navy weapon system readiness. His responsibilities center on securing high-reliability subsystems—including pumping systems, valve assemblies, and precision electronic components—required for maintenance, repair, and modernization of naval platforms. He manages the full lifecycle of contract actions, from requirement validation through award and administration, ensuring compliance with defense acquisition regulations and technical specifications for defense-grade hardware. Strohecker maintains consistent working relationships with established defense contractors, most notably Raytheon Company, which appears repeatedly as a prime awardee across multiple contract actions. He also engages with specialized vendors such as AMD International Technologies LLC and The Entwistle Company LLC, indicating a preference for experienced industrial partners capable of delivering high-integrity components under stringent military standards. His contracting patterns reflect reliance on proven, qualified suppliers with demonstrated capability in complex defense environments, prioritizing technical reliability over cost alone. His procurement portfolio is overwhelmingly dominated by non-set-aside awards, with 85.7% of actions conducted under full and open competition, reflecting the specialized nature and national security sensitivity of the procurements. Only 14.3% are designated as total small business set-asides, consistent with the technical complexity and limited vendor base in his domain. Strohecker’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 325920 (Explosives Manufacturing), underscoring his expertise in acquiring ordnance-related components and hazardous material handling systems, alongside NAICS 334419 (Other Electronic Component Manufacturing), which supports circuit board and embedded system procurement. His technical domain spans high-reliability explosives, precision electronics, and mission-critical subsystems integral to naval weapons sustainment.
