Paul Lindinger

Paul Lindinger serves as a key procurement professional within Navsup Weapon Systems Support, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to sustain and modernize naval aviation and weapon systems. He manages the acquisition of mission-critical components including avionics, aircraft subsystems, power generation units, and specialized electronics essential to fleet readiness. His portfolio focuses on complex technical procurements requiring deep engineering oversight, often involving legacy platform sustainment and next-generation system integration. Lindinger works within a high-stakes operational environment where supply chain reliability and technical compliance are paramount to maintaining naval airworthiness and combat readiness. Lindinger maintains collaborative relationships with a diverse base of defense contractors specializing in aerospace manufacturing, avionics integration, and mission-critical electronics. He engages with prime contractors and tiered suppliers capable of meeting stringent military specifications, including MIL-STD and DO-160 standards. His contracting approach emphasizes technical validation, quality assurance, and long-term sustainment support, fostering partnerships with vendors who demonstrate proven capability in delivering certified components under tight operational timelines. Lindinger’s procurement activities reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of acquisitions conducted without set-aside designations. While he does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, his process remains transparent and compliant with federal acquisition regulations, ensuring fair and equitable access for all qualified vendors. His approach prioritizes technical merit and supply chain resilience over socioeconomic categorization, aligning with Navsup WSS’s operational imperatives. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), with significant activity in aircraft manufacturing (336411) and engine parts (336412). He routinely procures flight control systems, radar interfaces, power distribution units, and communication subsystems, demonstrating deep expertise in aerospace systems engineering and defense logistics. His technical domain knowledge spans both legacy naval aircraft platforms and emerging digital architecture integrations.
