Brandon J. Carroll

Brandon J. Carroll serves as a Contract Specialist within the W6QK Acc-apg Director under the Department of the Army, where he manages the acquisition of mission-critical industrial maintenance, analytical instrumentation, and technical services essential to sustaining Army laboratory and field-based scientific operations. His portfolio focuses on ensuring the reliability of precision measurement systems, calibration standards, and facility infrastructure through compliant, performance-based contracting. Carroll routinely handles complex procurements under FAR Part 15, emphasizing technical evaluation, source selection, and contract administration for high-stakes defense applications requiring stringent quality and traceability controls. He maintains established relationships with key contractors including EXACT MACHINE SERVICE, INC., MARS LABS LLC, KODEX, INC., and CLEAR ARMOR, LLC—vendors with proven expertise in specialized maintenance, analytical system integration, and defense-grade technical support. These partnerships reflect a pattern of recurring collaboration with firms capable of delivering calibrated instrumentation, industrial process controls, and mission-specific service solutions under tight operational timelines. Carroll’s contracting approach prioritizes vendor reliability, technical competency, and past performance, fostering long-term supplier engagement to meet the Army’s continuous readiness demands. Carroll’s procurement strategy reflects a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with approximately half of his awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, and the other half open to all competitors without set-aside restrictions. While he does not routinely favor 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, his consistent use of small business set-asides demonstrates a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for qualified small manufacturers and service providers within the defense industrial base. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) and 325120 (Industrial Gas Manufacturing), reflecting deep specialization in the acquisition of precision lab equipment, gas delivery systems, and related technical services critical to defense R&D and field testing. He procures calibrated spectrometers, gas analyzers, maintenance contracts for scientific infrastructure, and specialized industrial gases used in weapon systems testing and environmental monitoring, requiring strict adherence to military specifications and technical certification standards.
