Alesha Subasic

Alesha Subasic serves as a Defense Vertical Contracting (DVC) officer within the W6QK Acc-apg Natick organization under the Department of the Army, where she leads the acquisition of mission-critical soldier systems and advanced technical services. Her portfolio centers on research and development contracts that support the modernization of battlefield equipment, including flame-resistant textiles, life-sustaining medical devices, and specialized instrumentation for extreme operational environments. As a key procurement lead, she ensures alignment with the Army’s strategic imperatives to enhance warfighter survivability, performance, and readiness through innovation-driven contracting. She manages full lifecycle acquisitions—from solicitation to contract award—focusing on complex, high-technical-risk R&D projects requiring rigorous technical evaluation and compliance with DoD acquisition regulations. Subasic maintains consistent working relationships with EPERNAY DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION LLC and TEVET LLC, both of which provide specialized engineering, prototyping, and systems integration services tailored to military operational needs. These partnerships reflect a pattern of sustained collaboration with vendors possessing deep domain expertise in soldier-worn systems, materials science, and field-deployable instrumentation. Her procurement approach prioritizes technical capability over cost alone, favoring vendors with proven track records in delivering under stringent military specifications and rapid development timelines. Subasic’s contracting activity is exclusively conducted under open, unrestricted competitions, with no set-asides for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic programs. This reflects a deliberate focus on sourcing the most technically capable solutions regardless of vendor size or certification status, aligning with the high-stakes nature of soldier system development where performance and reliability are non-negotiable. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 541715—Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences—encompassing advanced materials, wearable electronics, environmental protection systems, and biomedical engineering solutions. She consistently engages contractors with expertise in ruggedized sensor integration, ballistic-resistant textiles, and field-deployable diagnostics, ensuring the Army’s warfighters are equipped with next-generation capabilities grounded in cutting-edge scientific innovation.
