Patrick J Horan

Patrick Horan serves as a primary contracting professional within Navsup Weapon Systems Support, where he plays a critical role in securing mission-critical components for U.S. Navy aviation and weapon systems. He manages the acquisition of specialized aerospace parts, avionics, printed circuit boards, and mission-critical electronic subsystems essential to sustaining naval airworthiness and modernization efforts. His work directly supports the agency’s mandate to ensure operational readiness through reliable supply chain execution, with a focus on legacy platform sustainment and next-generation system integration. Horan handles complex, technically demanding procurements requiring deep engineering coordination and compliance with defense logistics standards. Horan collaborates with a diverse ecosystem of defense contractors specializing in high-reliability manufacturing and military-grade electronics. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he consistently engages with firms capable of meeting stringent MIL-SPEC, AS9100, and ITAR requirements. His contracting approach emphasizes technical qualification, quality assurance, and supply chain traceability, fostering long-term partnerships with vendors who demonstrate proven capability in producing certified aerospace and defense components under tight operational timelines. Horan’s procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of his acquisitions classified as “No Set-Aside.” This indicates a focus on technical merit and performance capability over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with the agency’s priority to secure mission-critical hardware without compromising on reliability or delivery timelines. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in his portfolio, he maintains compliance with all federal acquisition regulations and may incorporate small businesses as subcontractors where technically appropriate. His primary NAICS focus areas include Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing, Bare Printed Circuit Board Manufacturing, and Miscellaneous Electrical Equipment Manufacturing, reflecting deep expertise in procuring high-reliability avionics, power distribution units, communications hardware, and custom metal enclosures. Horan’s domain knowledge spans military-grade electronics, embedded systems, and ruggedized component integration, making him a key technical liaison between engineering teams and industrial suppliers.
