Angela Venes

Angela Venes serves as a key procurement lead within the W6QK Acc-ri under the Department of the Army, responsible for managing acquisitions that sustain and modernize the Army’s industrial base for ordnance, precision components, and battlefield support systems. She oversees the acquisition of critical manufacturing, logistics, and training services essential to weapons system readiness and ammunition production lifecycles. Her portfolio spans industrial supply chains, technical training, and infrastructure support, ensuring alignment with Army modernization priorities and defense industrial base resilience goals. Venes maintains strategic relationships with core contractors including AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, FAXON MACHINING, LLC, PALANTIR USG INC, and Allied Metal Tech, LLC, partnering with firms capable of delivering high-precision metal fabrication, mission-critical software solutions, and specialized maintenance services. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, technical compliance, and supply chain continuity, often engaging vendors with proven expertise in defense-grade manufacturing and secure logistics platforms. She fosters long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance accountability and quality assurance standards. Her procurement strategy reflects a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with approximately half of her acquisitions set aside for total small business participation under FAR 19.5, while the remainder remain open to full and open competition. This dual approach ensures robust market engagement while actively promoting small business growth within the defense industrial ecosystem, consistently supporting small, veteran-owned, and service-disabled veteran-owned enterprises. Venes’ primary NAICS focus includes Professional and Management Development Training (611430), Plastics Pipe and Pipe Fitting Manufacturing (326122), Electrical Contractors (238210), School and Employee Bus Transportation (485410), and Process and Logistics Consulting (541614). These reflect a unique blend of technical training, industrial supply chain support, and operational logistics services critical to sustaining Army munitions production and field equipment readiness, demonstrating expertise in both traditional manufacturing and emerging defense logistics domains.
