Wesley Whisner

Wesley Whisner serves as a key procurement lead within the Commanding Officer (N63394) under the Department of the Navy, responsible for managing high-priority acquisitions that sustain and modernize naval aviation and electronic warfare systems. His work centers on securing mission-critical aerospace components, advanced electronic assemblies, and cybersecurity-enabled communications infrastructure essential to maintaining fleet readiness. He oversees the full lifecycle of contracts for complex technical systems, ensuring compliance with defense acquisition regulations and alignment with naval aviation modernization priorities. His acquisitions directly support the integration of next-generation sensors, avionics, and secure data links across carrier-based and land-based platforms. Whisner maintains strategic relationships with prime contractors including Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, and Lockheed Martin Corporation, leveraging their expertise in advanced electronics manufacturing and integrated mission systems. His contracting approach favors established defense aerospace primes with proven track records in delivering high-reliability, military-spec components under stringent quality and security protocols. These partnerships are characterized by long-term performance-based contracts, technical collaboration, and rigorous oversight to ensure interoperability and supply chain resilience across classified and unclassified programs. Whisner’s procurement portfolio reflects a strong preference for unrestricted competition, with 100% of awards issued under no set-aside classifications. This indicates a deliberate focus on technical capability and mission urgency over socioeconomic preferences, prioritizing performance, delivery timelines, and system interoperability over small business set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. While small businesses are not excluded, they are not systematically targeted in his acquisition strategy. His primary focus lies within NAICS 334111 (Electronic Computer Manufacturing), where he procures custom-built electronic systems, embedded computing modules, signal processing units, and secure avionics hardware. His domain expertise spans electronic warfare suites, radar interface systems, and hardened communication networks, reflecting deep technical fluency in military-grade electronics manufacturing and systems integration for naval air platforms.
