USN

The United States Navy is the maritime service branch of the U.S. Armed Forces responsible for naval operations, sea control, and power projection. USN contracts support shipbuilding, aircraft, weapons systems, maintenance, logistics, and professional services across a vast acquisition enterprise.

Navy acquisitions are governed by DFARS and Navy-specific acquisition regulations. Major Navy buying commands include Naval Sea Systems Command, Naval Air Systems Command, and Naval Information Warfare Systems Command. Understanding Navy organizational structures, acquisition processes, and mission priorities helps contractors navigate one of the largest defense contracting customers.
