Christie Vicci

Christie Vicci serves as a Contracting Officer within the W6QK Acc-pica organization under the Department of the Army, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions that sustain combat readiness and force projection. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts spanning defense manufacturing, engineering services, and operational support systems, with a focus on modernizing ammunition production capabilities and maintaining installation infrastructure. Her acquisitions are strategically aligned with the Army’s priorities in logistics resilience and munitions supply chain integrity, ensuring timely delivery of mission-enabling technologies and services through full and open competition and targeted set-asides. Vicci maintains consistent working relationships with key defense contractors including Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, General Dynamics OTS (Wilkes-Barre), LLC, and Pioneering Decisive Solutions Inc., among others. These partnerships reflect a pattern of engagement with large prime contractors capable of delivering complex, high-integrity systems, while also incorporating specialized small businesses for niche technical services. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, risk mitigation, and long-term sustainment, fostering collaborative vendor relationships grounded in compliance and mission alignment. Her procurement strategy prioritizes full and open competition, with 86.7% of awards issued without set-aside designation. When set-asides are utilized, they are evenly distributed between Total Small Business and 8(a) competed contracts, demonstrating a measured but intentional commitment to socioeconomic programs without compromising mission requirements. This balanced approach ensures access to innovative capabilities while maintaining the scale and expertise needed for defense-critical procurements. Vicci’s primary technical focus lies in NAICS 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services) and 541330 (Engineering Services), each representing approximately 26.7% of her portfolio, followed by 541990 (Other Professional Services). She routinely procures software development, systems engineering, and technical consulting services to support digital modernization, with additional acquisitions in ordnance manufacturing and R&D for physical and engineering sciences. Her expertise centers on integrating advanced technical solutions into military logistics and operational platforms.
