Susana M Suber

Susana Suber serves as a key procurement lead within the Commanding Officer’s office (N63394) under the Department of the Navy, responsible for managing acquisitions that sustain and modernize naval aviation and electronic warfare systems. Her work directly supports operational readiness by securing mission-critical aerospace components, advanced electronic assemblies, sensor technologies, and cybersecurity-enabled communications infrastructure. She handles complex contracting actions involving technical engineering services, specialized manufacturing, and logistics support, ensuring compliance with naval aviation standards and defense acquisition regulations. Suber maintains strategic relationships with prime contractors including Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC and Lockheed Martin Corporation, partnering with industry leaders capable of delivering high-assurance, defense-grade systems. Her contracting approach emphasizes technical rigor and supply chain resilience, favoring established defense contractors with proven expertise in avionics, electronic warfare, and secure communications. While she collaborates with a broad vendor base, the majority of award volume is concentrated with a small number of Tier-1 defense contractors possessing the necessary clearances, certifications, and production capabilities. Her procurement pattern reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 83.8% of awards issued without set-asides, indicating a focus on capability over socioeconomic classification. Nevertheless, she consistently allocates 16.2% of opportunities to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a balanced commitment to fostering innovation from qualified small vendors without compromising mission-critical performance requirements. Suber’s primary NAICS focus includes administrative management consulting services, miscellaneous electrical equipment manufacturing, and general warehousing—reflecting her oversight of both technical procurement and supporting logistics functions. Her portfolio spans engineering services for electronic system integration, specialized component manufacturing for aircraft platforms, and operational support infrastructure, underscoring her expertise in the intersection of defense systems engineering and supply chain management.
