Rebecca L. Weiss

Rebecca L. Weiss 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. She manages complex acquisitions for mission-critical components including avionics, power generation systems, and electronic warfare subsystems, ensuring operational readiness across legacy and next-generation platforms. Her work directly enables the maintenance, repair, and upgrade of aircraft and weapon system infrastructure, with a focus on technical precision and supply chain resilience. She handles a broad spectrum of contract types, including firm-fixed-price and cost-reimbursement arrangements, primarily for high-reliability, defense-grade hardware and integrated systems. Weiss maintains established relationships with leading defense contractors including Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, Thales Defense & Security Inc., and Hamilton Sundstrand Corporation, partnering with industry leaders capable of delivering certified, military-spec components under stringent quality and delivery standards. Her procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, technical compliance, and performance-based contracting, often involving technical evaluations and source selection panels to ensure system interoperability and lifecycle support. She frequently engages with firms possessing AS9100 and ITAR certifications, reinforcing the agency’s need for secure, auditable supply chains. Her contracting activity reflects minimal use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 95.5% of awards issued under unrestricted competition, indicating a primary reliance on qualified large-system integrators with proven defense manufacturing capabilities. Small business participation remains limited, with only 3.7% allocated to total small business set-asides and 0.8% to service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, suggesting a procurement environment driven by technical complexity and scale rather than socioeconomic preferences. Weiss’s procurement focus centers on NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing) and 336320 (Motor Vehicle Electrical and Electronic Equipment Manufacturing), reflecting deep expertise in aerospace-grade electronics, embedded systems, and mission-critical instrumentation. She routinely acquires specialized components such as flight control modules, radar interfaces, and power distribution units, requiring deep technical understanding of MIL-STD and DO-160 compliance standards.
