Christina Cassan

Christina Cassan serves as a key procurement lead within the W6QK Acc-APG Cont Ct Wash Ofc, supporting the Department of the Army’s mission to advance critical C5ISR capabilities for land and expeditionary forces. She manages the acquisition of advanced electro-optic/infrared sensor systems, precision navigation and guidance technologies, and ruggedized power generation solutions essential for enhancing battlefield situational awareness. Her work spans the full lifecycle of complex technical contracts, ensuring timely delivery of mission-critical systems that operate under extreme environmental conditions. Cassan’s portfolio emphasizes high-integrity engineering and R&D-driven procurements aligned with modernization priorities for Army modernization initiatives. Her primary contractor relationships center on Cummins Power Generation Inc., reflecting a consistent reliance on industry leaders in ruggedized power systems. She engages with vendors capable of delivering integrated, field-deployable solutions that meet stringent military specifications for durability, thermal management, and electromagnetic compatibility. While Cummins is the dominant partner, her contracting activity also involves engineering firms and technical service providers with proven expertise in defense-grade systems integration, indicating a preference for established contractors with demonstrated performance in high-stakes operational environments. Cassan’s contracting activity shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a mission-driven focus on technical capability and operational readiness over socioeconomic preferences, prioritizing performance, reliability, and rapid delivery over certification-based contracting mechanisms. While small business participation is not formally encouraged through set-asides, her awards remain accessible to all qualified vendors capable of meeting the technical rigor of C5ISR requirements. Her procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), and NAICS 541715 (R&D in Physical and Engineering Sciences). She primarily acquires advanced sensor integration, embedded navigation systems, and expeditionary power solutions, demonstrating deep expertise in defense electronics, electro-optics, and energy resilience technologies critical to modern warfare.
