Shalane McCall

Shalane C. McCall serves as a Contract Specialist within the Naval Supply Systems Command Weapon Systems Support Mechanism (NAVSUP WSS Mech, N00104), where she plays a pivotal role in securing mission-critical components essential to the operational readiness of U.S. Navy weapon systems. Her procurement activities center on high-reliability mechanical, electrical, and electronic subsystems—including pumping systems, valve assemblies, and circuit board manufacturing—aligned with the sustainment and modernization of advanced naval platforms. She manages full lifecycle contract actions from solicitation through award and administration, ensuring compliance with FAR and DFARS requirements while prioritizing technical performance, supply chain resilience, and timely delivery of defense-critical hardware. McCall maintains consistent working relationships with key defense contractors, most notably Raytheon Company and The Entwistle Company LLC, as well as AMD International Technologies LLC. These partnerships reflect a reliance on established defense industrial base vendors with proven expertise in precision manufacturing, ordnance subsystems, and high-integrity component fabrication. Her contracting patterns indicate a preference for long-term, performance-based engagements with vendors possessing deep technical capabilities in weapons system support, often involving complex technical specifications and stringent quality assurance protocols. Her procurement portfolio is overwhelmingly dominated by non-set-aside acquisitions, with 96.2% of awards issued under unrestricted competition, reflecting the specialized, low-supplier-base nature of the requirements. Only 3.9% of awards are designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, indicating limited socioeconomic set-aside activity due to the technical complexity and limited availability of qualified small business vendors in this niche domain. McCall’s primary NAICS focus is 325920 (Explosives Manufacturing), encompassing the procurement of ordnance components, propellants, and related subsystems, with a secondary emphasis on 332993 (Ammunition Manufacturing, except Small Arms). Her expertise lies in sourcing highly regulated, safety-critical materials and assemblies used in naval weapon systems, requiring stringent adherence to Department of Defense safety, security, and environmental standards.
