Caitlyn Warner

Caitlyn Warner supports the procurement mission of the W6QK Acc-ri under the Department of the Army, overseeing the acquisition of critical munitions, precision-fabricated metal components, and industrial support systems essential to Army readiness. She manages contract actions for ordnance manufacturing, machine tooling, and battlefield equipment lifecycle services, ensuring alignment with DoD industrial base modernization priorities. Her work directly enables the sustainment of weapons systems and ammunition production capabilities through timely, compliant, and mission-driven contracting actions. Warner maintains sustained relationships with key industrial partners including AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, FAXON MACHINING, LLC, PALANTIR USG INC, and Allied Metal Tech, LLC, all of which provide specialized manufacturing, precision machining, and defense-grade software integration services. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in high-integrity metal fabrication and ordnance production, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in quality assurance, supply chain resilience, and defense industrial base security. She demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 83.3% of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to cultivate capacity among small manufacturers capable of meeting stringent military specifications for ammunition and fabricated components. Her contracting approach consistently prioritizes socioeconomic programs that expand access for small businesses with specialized technical expertise in defense manufacturing. Her procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 332993 (Ammunition Manufacturing, excluding small arms), where she sources high-explosive ordnance, propellant systems, and precision casings, alongside NAICS 331314 (Secondary Smelting and Alloying of Aluminum) for specialized metallurgical inputs. This technical domain expertise ensures the Army’s industrial base remains capable of producing mission-critical components with strict compliance to military standards for performance, safety, and reliability.
