Chad Hudelson

Chad Hudelson serves as a key procurement lead within the W6QK Acc-pica organization under the Department of the Army, responsible for managing complex acquisitions that sustain military readiness through defense manufacturing and operational support systems. His work directly supports the agency’s mission to modernize ammunition production capabilities, maintain critical installation infrastructure, and ensure reliable logistics and munitions supply chains. Hudelson typically handles high-stakes contracts for non-small arms ammunition manufacturing, facility services, and specialized equipment systems, often coordinating across technical, logistics, and engineering stakeholders to align procurements with strategic force projection goals. He maintains consistent working relationships with major defense contractors including NORTHROP GRUMMAN SYSTEMS CORPORATION, GENERAL DYNAMICS OTS (WILKES BARRE), LLC, and PIONEERING DECISIVE SOLUTIONS INC, as well as niche suppliers such as WISENGINEERING LLC and BIGELOW FAMILY HOLDINGS LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established industry leaders with proven capabilities in munitions production, precision manufacturing, and military facility support services. Hudelson’s contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical compliance, and long-term vendor reliability over transactional procurement. His procurement portfolio demonstrates a balanced approach to socioeconomic contracting, with approximately one-third of awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a deliberate effort to engage qualified small businesses in defense-related supply chain roles. While the majority of acquisitions are unrestricted, he actively facilitates opportunities for small businesses with relevant technical expertise in manufacturing and logistics support. Hudelson’s primary technical focus lies in NAICS 332993—Ammunition (except Small Arms) Manufacturing—where he oversees the acquisition of medium- and large-caliber ordnance systems, propellants, and associated production equipment. A secondary focus on NAICS 721110 reflects occasional procurement of lodging services for transient military personnel at forward operating installations. His expertise spans defense manufacturing standards, defense logistics frameworks, and contract administration for mission-critical supply chain components.
