Amelia Wheeler

Amelia Wheeler serves as a key procurement professional within the W4MM USA Joint Munitions Command, supporting the Department of the Army’s mission to ensure operational readiness through the lifecycle management of conventional ammunition and explosives. She manages complex acquisitions spanning fabrication, logistics, and support services critical to sustaining combat-effective munitions systems for land, air, and naval forces. Her work directly enables the modernization of warfighting capabilities and the resilience of the defense supply chain, with a focus on contracts requiring stringent safety, quality, and compliance standards under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 11 and Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) requirements. Wheeler collaborates with a diverse base of industrial contractors, including specialized metal fabricators, facilities support providers, and munitions logistics firms. While specific vendor names are not publicly disclosed, her contracting patterns reflect consistent engagement with small businesses certified under the 8(a) program and other socioeconomic categories, fostering long-term partnerships built on technical competency and regulatory adherence. She prioritizes vendors capable of meeting Department of Defense explosive safety standards and maintaining secure, auditable production environments. Her procurement strategy is heavily weighted toward small business set-asides, with 66.7% of acquisitions designated as total small business set-asides and 33.3% competed exclusively under the 8(a) program. This reflects a deliberate and sustained commitment to expanding economic opportunity among disadvantaged businesses while ensuring the government accesses innovative, agile suppliers capable of supporting sensitive defense missions. Wheeler’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 332999 (miscellaneous fabricated metal products), 561210 (facilities support services), and 331315 (aluminum sheet, plate, and foil manufacturing). She routinely acquires precision-machined munition components, secure storage and handling infrastructure, and specialized aluminum casings used in ammunition assembly. Her technical expertise spans defense manufacturing standards, explosive containment systems, and supply chain traceability protocols essential to national security.
