Christine K Berry

Christine K. Berry serves as Supervisory Contracting Officer at the W4MM USA Joint Munitions Command, where she leads the acquisition strategy for critical conventional ammunition and explosives systems essential to U.S. Army operational readiness. In this role, she oversees the full lifecycle procurement of munitions-related services and manufacturing, ensuring compliance with defense acquisition regulations and mission-critical timelines. Her portfolio encompasses engineering services, technical support, and specialized ammunition production, all aligned with the Department of Defense’s imperative to modernize warfighting capabilities and sustain a resilient supply chain. As a senior contracting authority, she ensures contract execution meets stringent safety, quality, and logistical standards for land, air, and naval forces. Christine collaborates closely with a diverse base of professional service providers and defense manufacturers, including engineering firms, technical consultants, and small arms ammunition producers. While no single contractor dominates her award portfolio, her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established industry partners with proven expertise in munitions lifecycle management and defense-grade manufacturing. Her working relationships emphasize performance accountability, technical compliance, and supply chain security, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in regulatory adherence and mission alignment. Christine’s contracting activity is exclusively non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects the agency’s operational imperative to prioritize technical capability and mission urgency over socioeconomic preferences, though she remains committed to fair and transparent processes that enable qualified small businesses to compete on equal footing. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), 541990 (Other Professional Services), and 332992 (Small Arms Ammunition Manufacturing). She routinely manages contracts for ammunition design, test and evaluation, explosive safety analysis, and production of small-caliber and medium-caliber munitions, demonstrating deep expertise in defense technical domains and ordnance logistics.
