Alan McCarty

Alan McCarty serves as a key procurement lead within the W6QK Acc-pica office of the Department of the Army, responsible for managing acquisitions that sustain military readiness through facility services, operational support systems, and logistics infrastructure. His work directly supports the agency’s mission to modernize ammunition production capabilities and maintain installation resilience by securing critical services and specialized manufacturing solutions. McCarty routinely handles complex contract actions under FAR Part 12 and Part 13, focusing on service-based procurements that ensure continuous operational tempo across Army installations. He maintains established relationships with prime contractors including NORTHROP GRUMMAN SYSTEMS CORPORATION, GENERAL DYNAMICS OTS (WILKES BARRE), LLC, and PIONEERING DECISIVE SOLUTIONS INC, partnering with firms capable of delivering high-assurance facility maintenance, munitions logistics support, and engineered solutions for defense-critical environments. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based service contracts, long-term vendor partnerships, and performance metrics tied to mission-critical outcomes, fostering accountability and operational reliability. McCarty demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 60% of his acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. He consistently prioritizes small business participation, awarding contracts to firms certified as 8(a), HUBZone, and SDVOSB entities, aligning with Department of Defense mandates to expand opportunity within the defense industrial base. His procurement patterns reflect a deliberate strategy to build capacity among qualified small vendors while ensuring compliance with statutory small business goals. His primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 721110 (hotels and motels) for transient personnel housing and NAICS 561720 (janitorial services) for installation hygiene and sanitation standards. He also procures specialized rubber products under 326299 and septic system services under 562991, reflecting a unique blend of military housing, environmental compliance, and infrastructure sustainment requirements. This niche expertise underscores his ability to manage non-traditional defense acquisitions that directly enable force readiness and quality-of-life standards for service members.
