Bethany Carbajal

Bethany Carbajal serves as a key procurement professional within the W4MM USA Joint Munitions Command, supporting the Department of Defense’s mission to ensure operational readiness through the lifecycle management of conventional ammunition and explosives. She manages acquisitions aligned with critical defense logistics, focusing on the secure acquisition, storage, distribution, and demilitarization of munitions systems. Her work directly enables the Army’s warfighting readiness by facilitating timely access to essential materiel and support services, with a strong emphasis on supply chain resilience and safety compliance across the defense industrial base. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, Carbajal maintains active relationships with a diverse pool of vendors capable of meeting stringent DoD security and quality standards. Her procurement patterns reflect a balanced approach between large-capability providers and small business partners, fostering competition while ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations. She engages vendors with expertise in specialized logistics, hazardous materials handling, and secure facility operations, often requiring ISO, ITAR, and DD2345 certifications. Carbajal exhibits a pronounced commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with half of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate strategy to broaden participation among small, disadvantaged, and veteran-owned firms. Her contracting portfolio consistently prioritizes small business inclusion, aligning with DoD mandates to enhance industrial base diversity and strengthen national security through resilient supplier networks. Her primary NAICS focus areas—314910 (Textile Bag and Canvas Mills) and 561612 (Security Guards and Patrol Services)—reveal specialized procurement needs in protective packaging for munitions and perimeter security for sensitive storage and handling facilities. She routinely sources durable, military-specification containers and contract security services compliant with DoD 5200.08 and AR 190-5, demonstrating deep technical expertise in materiel protection and installation security protocols within high-risk operational environments.
