Ashley P. Seffernick

Ashley Seffernick serves as an Agreements Officer within the W6QK Acc-apg Cont Ct Wash Ofc, part of the Department of the Army, where she manages complex acquisition instruments to advance critical C5ISR capabilities for land and expeditionary forces. Her portfolio centers on the development and integration of electro-optic/infrared sensor systems, precision navigation and guidance technologies, and ruggedized power generation solutions. She specializes in negotiating and administering research and development agreements, sole-source contracts, and other non-traditional procurement mechanisms that accelerate the fielding of next-generation battlefield technologies. Her role is pivotal in bridging technical innovation with operational requirements, ensuring timely delivery of mission-critical systems to warfighters. Seffernick maintains a primary working relationship with Cummins Power Generation Inc., a key vendor providing ruggedized, field-deployable power solutions essential for C5ISR platforms. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established industry partners with proven expertise in defense-grade engineering, particularly those capable of rapid prototyping and systems integration. While she collaborates with large primes for core technology delivery, her approach remains flexible, enabling agile responses to urgent operational needs through tailored acquisition strategies. Her set-aside preferences are heavily skewed toward open competition, with 88.9% of awards issued without socioeconomic set-asides, reflecting the specialized nature of the technologies procured. Nevertheless, she consistently reserves 11.1% of opportunities for total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured commitment to small business participation where technical capability and scale align. Seffernick’s procurement focus is dominated by NAICS 541715, reflecting her deep involvement in physical and engineering R&D for defense applications, including advanced sensor fusion, signal processing, and embedded computing systems. She also procures specialized computer storage devices under NAICS 334112, tailored for high-reliability, environmentally hardened military platforms. Her expertise lies at the intersection of defense electronics, power systems engineering, and expeditionary technology integration.
