Charrissa Stancell

Charrissa Stancell serves as a Contract Specialist within the W6QK Acc-apg Director under the Department of the Army, where she plays a pivotal role in procuring mission-critical analytical instrumentation, industrial maintenance services, and precision measurement systems essential to military laboratory and field operations. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of acquisition—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—ensuring compliance with federal regulations while supporting the agency’s mandate to sustain scientific readiness and operational infrastructure. She specializes in complex technical procurements requiring stringent calibration standards, NIST-traceable verification, and compliance with defense-specific performance specifications. While specific contractor relationships are not publicly enumerated, Stancell routinely engages with a diverse pool of vendors including manufacturers of laboratory-grade instrumentation, industrial automation suppliers, and technical service providers specializing in preventive maintenance and calibration of defense-critical equipment. Her contracting patterns reflect a balanced approach, fostering partnerships with both established defense contractors and agile small businesses capable of delivering specialized, high-precision solutions under tight operational timelines. Stancell demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 41.4% of her acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate strategy to expand economic opportunity while tapping into niche technical capabilities. Her procurement practices consistently prioritize socioeconomic programs, with a clear preference for small businesses over non-set-aside awards, aligning with Department of the Army mandates to strengthen the defense industrial base through inclusive contracting. Her primary NAICS focus centers on analytical laboratory instrument manufacturing (334516) and other measuring and controlling device manufacturing (334519), with additional emphasis on instruments for industrial process control and detection systems. She routinely procures mass spectrometers, chromatographs, pressure and temperature sensors, and calibration standards—products critical to maintaining the accuracy of defense-related scientific testing and environmental monitoring. Her domain expertise lies at the intersection of industrial instrumentation, metrology, and military logistics.
