Tyler Curfman

Tyler Curfman serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Supply Systems Command Weapon Systems Support Mechanism (NAVSUP WSS Mech, N00104), responsible for managing the acquisition of mission-critical mechanical, electrical, and electronic components that sustain the operational readiness of U.S. Navy weapon systems. He specializes in procuring high-reliability subsystems including pumping systems, valve assemblies, bare printed circuit boards, and precision machinery essential for maintenance, repair, and modernization of naval platforms. His acquisitions directly support the lifecycle sustainment of advanced naval platforms, ensuring technical performance, durability, and compliance with military specifications. Curfman maintains consistent working relationships with leading defense contractors including Raytheon Company, AMD International Technologies LLC, and The Entwistle Company LLC, primarily engaging large prime contractors with proven expertise in aerospace-grade components and defense-grade manufacturing. His procurement approach emphasizes established vendor capabilities, technical validation, and supply chain resilience, often leveraging long-term contractual frameworks to ensure rapid response to fleet maintenance demands and urgent operational requirements. His contracting activity shows no reliance on socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on technical capability and mission-critical performance over socioeconomic preferences, prioritizing proven industrial base capacity and qualified suppliers with defense-specific certifications and quality control systems. Curfman’s procurement portfolio is heavily concentrated in NAICS 334511 (aeronautical and nautical systems manufacturing), 333998 (miscellaneous machinery), and 334412 (bare printed circuit board manufacturing), indicating deep expertise in electronic subsystems, precision mechanical assemblies, and mission-critical instrumentation. He routinely sources components requiring stringent MIL-SPEC compliance, including ruggedized circuitry, hydraulic and pneumatic valve systems, and engine-related equipment critical to naval platform functionality.
