Amy Brooke McIntire

Amy Brooke McIntire serves as a procurement specialist focused on defense and industrial chemical manufacturing acquisitions, supporting critical national security supply chains. She manages the full lifecycle of contract actions—from solicitation through award and administration—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-critical delivery timelines. Her work centers on sourcing specialized explosives, ammunition components, and advanced chemical formulations essential to military and defense operations, making her a key contributor to the agency’s readiness and logistical resilience. McIntire maintains established relationships with a limited but highly specialized base of industrial manufacturers, primarily those with expertise in explosives and ammunition production. She engages with a select group of cleared, DoD-approved vendors possessing the necessary security clearances, technical certifications, and manufacturing capabilities under ITAR and EAR controls. Her contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships built on reliability, regulatory compliance, and consistent quality assurance, often involving technical evaluations and source selection panels to ensure operational suitability. Her procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 94.7% of awards issued under non-set-aside authorities, indicating a focus on technical capability over socioeconomic categorization. However, she consistently reserves 5.3% of opportunities for Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating measured but intentional support for small manufacturers capable of meeting stringent defense specifications without compromising performance or security standards. McIntire’s technical domain is dominated by NAICS 325920 (Explosives Manufacturing), with significant activity in 332993 (Ammunition Manufacturing) and 325998 (Miscellaneous Chemical Product Manufacturing). She procures high-energy materials, propellants, detonators, and precision chemical formulations used in munitions systems, requiring deep familiarity with hazardous material handling, military specifications (MIL-SPEC), and explosive safety protocols. Her expertise lies at the intersection of chemical engineering standards and defense acquisition policy.
