Patrick Michael Weaver

Patrick Michael Weaver serves as a key procurement lead within the Naval Surface Warfare Center, supporting the agency’s mission to advance naval warfare capabilities through the acquisition of advanced electronic, sensing, and communications systems. He manages a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on the development, integration, and sustainment of mission-critical technologies for surface ships and maritime platforms, including signal processing instrumentation, radar and sonar subsystems, and precision electrical components. His work directly enables fleet readiness and undersea dominance by ensuring timely delivery of technically complex systems that enhance situational awareness and electronic warfare capabilities. Weaver maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized contractors, including ISPA TECHNOLOGY LLC, FIVE RIVERS ANALYTICS, LLC, BAUER COMPRESSORS, INC., and COUNTERTRADE PRODUCTS, INC., all of which provide niche engineering, test equipment, and electronic subsystems tailored to naval requirements. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven expertise in defense-grade electronics, signal conditioning, and ruggedized instrumentation, often engaging them through competitive sealed bidding and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity mechanisms to ensure technical reliability and supply chain continuity. Weaver’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on technical capability over socioeconomic preferences, prioritizing mission-critical performance and system interoperability. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in his portfolio, vendors of all sizes are evaluated strictly on technical merit, past performance, and compliance with military specifications. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS categories centered on electronic manufacturing, including electronic computer manufacturing, radio and wireless communications equipment, precision instrumentation for electrical signals, fabricated wire products, and passive electronic components. These domains underscore his deep technical alignment with naval electronic warfare, sensor fusion, and high-reliability circuit design, making him a critical link between operational needs and advanced hardware procurement.
