Ashley L Griffin

Ashley L. Griffin serves as a Contract Specialist within the W6QK Acc-ri organization under the Department of the Army, responsible for managing the acquisition of critical industrial base capabilities essential to Army readiness. Her portfolio centers on the procurement of ordnance systems, precision-machined components, fabricated metal products, and maintenance services that support weapons systems and ammunition production lifecycles. She executes full-cycle contracting actions under FAR and DFARS guidelines, ensuring compliance with defense industrial base modernization priorities and operational sustainment requirements. Griffin maintains strategic relationships with key industrial contractors including AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, FAXON MACHINING, LLC, PALANTIR USG INC, and Allied Metal Tech, LLC, reflecting a balanced mix of mid-tier defense suppliers and specialized metal fabrication firms. Her contracting patterns emphasize technical precision and supply chain resilience, often engaging vendors with DoD manufacturing clearances and certified quality systems. She fosters long-term partnerships with contractors capable of delivering high-integrity components under stringent military specifications. Her procurement approach prioritizes broad market access, with 64.3% of awards issued without set-asides and 35.7% allocated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. While she does not exclusively favor socioeconomic categories like 8(a) or HUBZone, her consistent use of small business set-asides demonstrates a deliberate commitment to expanding participation from qualified small manufacturers within the defense industrial base. Griffin’s primary NAICS focus includes 334111 (Electronic Computer Manufacturing) and 331110 (Iron and Steel Mills), alongside significant activity in 331511 (Iron Foundries) and 332999 (Miscellaneous Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing). Her expertise lies in acquiring complex metal components, precision machining services, and integrated electronic systems critical to munitions production and battlefield equipment sustainment, requiring deep technical understanding of metallurgy, CNC fabrication, and defense-grade manufacturing standards.
