Capt. Patrik Rowland

Capt. Patrik Rowland serves as a Program Manager responsible for overseeing the acquisition and lifecycle management of specialized ammunition systems for national defense programs. In this role, he leads the planning, solicitation, and contract execution of complex technical procurements aligned with strategic military requirements. His responsibilities include coordinating with technical stakeholders, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations, and validating contractor performance against performance-based specifications. Rowland’s acquisitions are primarily centered on manufacturing and supply chain solutions for medium- and large-caliber munitions, requiring deep technical oversight and rigorous quality assurance protocols. While specific contractor relationships are not publicly enumerated, Rowland’s procurement pattern indicates engagement with a select group of defense industrial base manufacturers capable of meeting stringent military specifications for ammunition production. His working relationships emphasize long-term partnerships with vendors possessing certified manufacturing capabilities, quality control systems, and defense supply chain security clearances. He prioritizes vendors with proven track records in high-volume, precision ammunition fabrication and maintains a preference for contractors with established DoD compliance histories. Rowland’s contracting activity is entirely classified under the “No Set-Aside” category, reflecting a focus on mission-critical capabilities that require specialized industrial capacity not typically available within small business sectors. This reflects a strategic alignment with national security imperatives over socioeconomic set-aside preferences, though he remains compliant with all applicable small business reporting and oversight requirements. His primary procurement focus is exclusively under NAICS 332993 — Ammunition (except Small Arms) Manufacturing — indicating deep expertise in the design, testing, and production of artillery shells, mortar rounds, and other non-small-arm munitions. He specializes in procuring high-explosive, guided, and inert training variants, requiring knowledge of explosive ordnance safety, ballistic performance standards, and Department of Defense technical manuals. Rowland’s domain expertise lies at the intersection of ordnance engineering, supply chain resilience, and defense manufacturing compliance.
