Taylor Fasching

Taylor Fasching serves as a key procurement specialist within the Naval Supply Systems Command Weapon Systems Support Mechanism (N00104), supporting the operational readiness of U.S. Navy weapon systems through the acquisition of mission-critical mechanical, electrical, and electronic components. Responsible for managing complex contracting actions, Fasching focuses on sustaining advanced naval platforms by securing high-reliability subsystems essential for maintenance, repair, and modernization efforts. Their portfolio centers on precision-engineered components including valve assemblies, pumping systems, and bare printed circuit boards, ensuring technical compliance with naval specifications and supply chain resilience. Fasching maintains consistent working relationships with industry leaders such as Raytheon Company and The Entwistle Company LLC, leveraging long-standing partnerships with defense contractors experienced in military-grade manufacturing. These collaborations emphasize technical precision, rigorous quality assurance, and adherence to defense standards such as MIL-STD and AS9100. The contracting pattern reflects a preference for established prime contractors capable of delivering high-integrity components under stringent operational requirements, with limited reliance on subcontracting networks. Set-aside preferences are overwhelmingly dominated by unrestricted acquisitions, with 98.7% of awards issued without socioeconomic set-asides. Only 1.3% of contracts are designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a procurement strategy prioritizing technical capability and mission-critical delivery over socioeconomic preferences. While small business participation is minimal, it remains strategically targeted to firms demonstrating proven expertise in niche defense manufacturing domains. Fasching’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 332919 (Other Metal Valve and Pipe Fitting Manufacturing), accounting for over half of all acquisitions, followed by 334412 (Bare Printed Circuit Board Manufacturing) and 333914 (Pumping Equipment Manufacturing). This reflects deep technical expertise in fluid control systems, electronic subsystems, and mechanical actuation components critical to naval weapon system sustainment. Their work ensures the continuous functionality of high-stakes platforms through precision-engineered, defense-certified hardware.
