Carrie Lansing

Carrie B. Lansing serves as a Contracting Officer at the W4MM USA Joint Munitions Command, where she plays a critical role in securing the lifecycle management of conventional ammunition and explosives for the U.S. Army. Responsible for end-to-end acquisition planning, solicitation, award, and contract administration, she ensures the timely delivery of mission-critical munitions systems that sustain combat readiness across land, air, and naval forces. Her portfolio encompasses complex procurement actions involving manufacturing, logistics, and demilitarization services, with a strong emphasis on national security supply chain resilience and modernization initiatives aligned with Department of Defense strategic objectives. Lansing cultivates strategic partnerships with a diverse base of defense industrial base vendors, primarily engaged in ammunition production, precision machining, and munitions component manufacturing. While no single contractor dominates her award profile, she consistently engages with specialized defense suppliers capable of meeting stringent military specifications, including those with AS9100 and ITAR compliance. Her contracting approach emphasizes technical rigor, risk mitigation, and performance-based outcomes, fostering long-term vendor relationships built on reliability and regulatory adherence. A strong advocate for small business participation, Lansing prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, which account for over 42% of her acquisitions, reflecting a deliberate commitment to expanding access for small manufacturers in the defense sector. She also actively supports Women-Owned Small Businesses, with approximately 4% of her awards designated under this socioeconomic category. Her contracting patterns demonstrate a balanced approach—favoring small business opportunities while maintaining flexibility for non-set-aside procurements to ensure mission-critical delivery timelines. Her primary technical focus lies in NAICS 332993 (Ammunition Manufacturing), where she oversees the acquisition of medium- and large-caliber munitions, along with related components from NAICS 332722 (Fasteners) and 333515 (Machine Tool Accessories). Her expertise spans precision manufacturing, explosive ordnance handling, and defense industrial base sustainment, positioning her as a key steward of the Army’s conventional weapons infrastructure.
