Amelia M Fusco

Amelia Fusco serves as the primary contracting lead for the W6QK Acc-orlando under the Department of the Army, overseeing the acquisition of advanced engineering and mission-critical technology services to modernize military training systems. She plays a central role in executing procurements that support the agency’s mission to enhance operational readiness through next-generation simulation, live-fire training infrastructure, and integrated mission command systems. Her portfolio primarily consists of complex technical services requiring deep domain expertise in defense systems engineering and custom software development, with a focus on delivering scalable, secure, and interoperable solutions for aviation, artillery, and tactical training environments. Fusco maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of high-capability contractors, including TORCH RESEARCH, LLC, AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY INTERNATIONAL, and FIDELITY TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven experience in defense R&D, systems integration, and mission-specific software development. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical rigor, and sustained vendor collaboration to ensure rapid prototyping, field testing, and seamless deployment of cutting-edge training technologies. Fusco’s acquisition strategy shows no reliance on socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of her procurements conducted as full and open competitions. This reflects a mission-driven focus on technical capability over socioeconomic criteria, prioritizing the most qualified vendors regardless of business size or certification status. While small business participation is not formally incentivized, her awards remain accessible to all qualified offerors through transparent, merit-based evaluation processes. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), which accounts for two-thirds of her activity, encompassing systems engineering, test and evaluation, and technical integration for military training platforms. The remaining third centers on NAICS 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services), supporting the development of simulation software, digital twin architectures, and real-time data analytics tools critical to modernized training ecosystems.
