Timothy McCloskey

Timothy McCloskey serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Supply Systems Command Weapon Systems Support Mechanism (NAVSUP WSS Mech, N00104), supporting the operational readiness of U.S. Navy weapon systems through the acquisition of mission-critical mechanical, electrical, and electronic components. He manages contracts for high-reliability subsystems including pumping systems, valve assemblies, circuit board manufacturing, and ordnance accessories, ensuring timely delivery of components essential for maintenance, repair, and modernization of naval platforms. His work directly enables the sustainment of advanced maritime platforms by securing precision-engineered parts that meet stringent military specifications and environmental durability standards. McCloskey maintains consistent relationships with leading defense contractors including Raytheon Company, AMD International Technologies LLC, and The Entwistle Company LLC, reflecting a preference for established Tier-1 and specialized suppliers with proven capabilities in defense-grade manufacturing. His contracting patterns indicate a reliance on experienced vendors with deep technical expertise in naval systems integration, often awarding multiple contracts to repeat performers with demonstrated compliance with MIL-SPEC and AS9100 standards. His procurement strategy prioritizes open competition, with 85.7% of awards issued without set-asides, indicating a focus on technical capability over socioeconomic preferences. However, he maintains a consistent 14.3% allocation to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured commitment to small business participation without compromising mission-critical performance requirements. McCloskey’s primary NAICS focus areas include Ship Building and Repairing (336611), Paint and Coating Manufacturing (325510), and Hardware Manufacturing (332510), reflecting a technical emphasis on naval platform sustainment. He frequently procures corrosion-resistant coatings, mechanical fasteners, wiring devices, and ordnance components, underscoring his expertise in the intersection of materials science, mechanical systems, and defense electronics procurement.
