Bethany Carbajal

Bethany Carbajal serves as a secondary procurement professional within the W6QK Acc-ri under the Department of the Army, supporting the agency’s mission to sustain and modernize the U.S. Army’s industrial base for ordnance, precision components, and battlefield support systems. She facilitates the acquisition of critical fabricated metal products, explosives, and specialized manufacturing services essential to weapons systems readiness and lifecycle maintenance. Her work centers on executing contract actions aligned with strategic industrial base priorities, ensuring timely delivery of mission-critical materiel through compliant, efficient procurement processes. Carbajal maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, FAXON MACHINING, LLC, PALANTIR USG INC, and Allied Metal Tech, LLC, among a network of approximately 30 specialized vendors. These partnerships reflect a preference for mid-tier manufacturers and technologically capable small businesses capable of delivering precision-machined components, explosive containment systems, and advanced testing services. Her contracting patterns emphasize reliability, technical specificity, and supply chain resilience, often requiring vendors to meet stringent military specifications and quality assurance protocols. A strong advocate for small business participation, Carbajal consistently prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, with 75% of her acquisitions reserved for small businesses. This reflects a deliberate strategy to cultivate a robust, diversified industrial base and ensure equitable access to Army contracting opportunities for firms without large-scale government contract infrastructure. Her approach aligns with broader Department of Defense goals to strengthen domestic manufacturing capacity through socioeconomic contracting. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS categories including 332999 (miscellaneous fabricated metal products), 325920 (explosives manufacturing), and 326150 (polyurethane and foam products), with additional activity in aluminum fabrication and testing laboratories. She specializes in acquiring components for munitions systems, precision tooling, and battlefield equipment support, demonstrating deep familiarity with defense manufacturing standards and the technical demands of ordnance lifecycle sustainment.
