Taniesha Yeckley

Taniesha Yeckley supports the procurement mission of the Naval Supply Systems Command Weapon Systems Support Mechanism (NAVSUP WSS Mech, N00104), ensuring the timely acquisition of mission-critical mechanical, electrical, and electronic components essential for the sustainment and modernization of U.S. Navy weapon systems. She manages complex contract actions for high-reliability machinery, precision valve assemblies, printed circuit boards, and specialized subsystems that directly support naval platform readiness. Her work spans the full lifecycle of acquisition—from requirements validation and market research to contract award and performance oversight—focusing on technical domains requiring stringent quality controls and defense-grade compliance. Yeckley maintains consistent procurement relationships with industry leaders such as Raytheon Company, AMD International Technologies LLC, and The Entwistle Company LLC, reflecting a preference for established defense contractors with proven capabilities in aerospace-grade manufacturing and subsystem integration. Her contracting patterns indicate a reliance on experienced vendors capable of delivering custom-engineered components under strict military specifications, with a focus on supply chain resilience and long-term sustainment support. Her set-aside preferences are overwhelmingly aligned with open competition, with 96% of awards issued without socioeconomic set-asides, indicating a prioritization of technical capability and mission necessity over preference programs. While small business participation is limited to approximately 4%, it is strategically targeted toward firms with specialized technical expertise in niche manufacturing domains rather than broad-based socioeconomic categories. Yeckley’s procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 333998 (miscellaneous machinery), 325199 (organic chemical manufacturing), 332919 (metal valve and pipe fitting), and 334412 (bare printed circuit board manufacturing), reflecting deep expertise in mechanical subsystems, chemical processing materials, fluid control components, and high-density electronic assemblies. Her work demands technical fluency in defense-grade materials, MIL-SPEC compliance, and advanced manufacturing processes critical to naval weapon system performance.
