Mark Manick

Mark Manick serves as a Technician within the Naval Supply Systems Command Weapon Systems Support Mechanism (NAVSUP WSS Mech, N00104), supporting the procurement and sustainment of mission-critical mechanical, electrical, and electronic components for U.S. Navy weapon systems. His role involves executing technical evaluations, validating specifications, and facilitating acquisition actions for high-reliability parts essential to the maintenance and modernization of naval platforms. He specializes in sourcing precision machinery, valve assemblies, pumping systems, and bare printed circuit boards, ensuring compliance with military performance standards and supply chain integrity for operational readiness. Mark maintains consistent procurement relationships with leading defense contractors including Raytheon Company, AMD International Technologies LLC, and The Entwistle Company LLC, often engaging these vendors for specialized mechanical subsystems and electronic components requiring stringent quality controls. His working patterns reflect a preference for established industrial suppliers with proven track records in defense-grade manufacturing, particularly those capable of meeting MIL-SPEC and AS9100 requirements. These partnerships are typically long-term and performance-driven, emphasizing technical fidelity and on-time delivery for mission-essential systems. His contracting activity reflects minimal use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 97.4% of acquisitions conducted under open competition. While small business participation is limited to 2.6%, it is strategically aligned with niche capabilities in precision machining and circuit board fabrication, indicating a prioritization of technical capability over socioeconomic preference in this high-stakes sustainment environment. Mark’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 332991 (ball and roller bearing manufacturing), 332919 (metal valve and pipe fitting manufacturing), and 334412 (bare printed circuit board manufacturing), reflecting deep expertise in mechanical subsystems and electronic hardware critical to naval weapon system functionality. His technical domain centers on high-precision components requiring tight tolerances, corrosion resistance, and operational reliability under extreme environmental conditions.
