Christina Makhijani serves as a key procurement lead within the W6QK Acc-pica office of the Department of the Army, overseeing the acquisition of mission-critical defense systems and operational support services essential to military readiness. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on software development, precision equipment maintenance, pharmaceutical preparation, and industrial machinery repair—domains vital to sustaining combat systems and logistics infrastructure. Her work directly supports the Army’s strategic priorities in modernizing ammunition production and ensuring base-wide operational continuity through reliable, technologically advanced procurement solutions. Makhijani maintains consistent working relationships with major defense contractors including NORTHROP GRUMMAN SYSTEMS CORPORATION, GENERAL DYNAMICS OTS (WILKES BARRE), LLC, PIONEERING DECISIVE SOLUTIONS INC, BIGELOW FAMILY HOLDINGS LLC, and WISENGINEERING LLC. These partnerships reflect a reliance on established industry leaders capable of delivering complex, high-assurance systems under stringent defense standards. Her contracting approach emphasizes technical proficiency, supply chain resilience, and performance-based acquisition methodologies, fostering long-term vendor collaboration to meet evolving operational demands. Her procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on accessing the broadest possible talent pool and technical capabilities rather than socioeconomic set-asides, prioritizing mission effectiveness and system interoperability over socioeconomic categorization in contract award decisions. Makhijani’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 513210 (Software Publishers), where she acquires mission-critical defense software and embedded systems; NAICS 325412 (Pharmaceutical Preparation Manufacturing), supporting medical readiness and battlefield pharmacology; and NAICS 811210 and 811310, covering the repair and maintenance of electronic, precision, and industrial machinery. Her expertise spans the integration of software-enabled systems with physical infrastructure, demonstrating deep technical fluency in defense logistics, munitions support, and installation sustainment operations.
