Angela M. Hambleton

Angela M. Hambleton serves as a Contract Specialist within the W4MM USA Joint Munitions Command, where she plays a pivotal role in executing the lifecycle acquisition of conventional ammunition and explosives systems critical to U.S. Army operational readiness. Her responsibilities encompass the full spectrum of contracting activities—from solicitation and evaluation to award and administration—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-critical timelines. She specializes in procurements supporting munitions production, storage infrastructure, and demilitarization operations, often coordinating with technical experts to align contract requirements with military specifications and safety standards. Hambleton collaborates with a diverse base of vendors, including industrial manufacturers, specialized construction firms, and niche suppliers of defense-related components. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she routinely engages with firms capable of meeting stringent DoD quality and security protocols, fostering partnerships with both large-capacity producers and agile small businesses capable of rapid response and technical customization. Her working relationships are characterized by rigorous performance monitoring and a focus on supply chain resilience. Her procurement strategy reflects a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with nearly half of her actions set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5 and a significant portion awarded through 8(a) competed programs. This pattern underscores her dedication to expanding opportunities for disadvantaged and certified small businesses while maintaining mission integrity. Hambleton’s primary NAICS focus areas include industrial mold manufacturing, plastics bag and pouch production, and power and communication line construction—all vital to munitions packaging, handling, and infrastructure. She also regularly procures specialized components related to computer storage devices and industrial maintenance services, demonstrating expertise in both high-volume manufacturing and mission-critical support systems essential to the Army’s ammunition lifecycle.
