Christopher Justice

Christopher Justice serves as a key procurement lead within the W6QK Acc-apg Durham office under the Department of the Army’s W911NF code, driving the acquisition of advanced research and development services critical to Army modernization. He specializes in securing cutting-edge scientific and technical capabilities in physical, engineering, and life sciences, with a strategic focus on disruptive technologies including autonomy, quantum systems, and intelligence horizon scanning. His procurement activities center on non-repetitive, mission-critical R&D contracts that enable rapid innovation cycles and cross-disciplinary collaboration between government labs, academic institutions, and industry partners. He ensures alignment between acquisition strategy and the Army’s long-term technological roadmap, prioritizing agility, technical rigor, and mission readiness in all contract actions. Justice engages with a broad spectrum of research-focused contractors, including defense primes, university-affiliated research centers, and specialized technology firms with deep expertise in advanced systems development. His procurement patterns reflect a preference for performance-based, cost-reimbursement and time-and-materials contracts that accommodate high-risk, high-reward R&D environments. He cultivates partnerships with vendors capable of delivering prototype-scale solutions, rapid prototyping, and technical validation services under stringent security and compliance frameworks. Justice’s contracting portfolio shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. This reflects a mission-driven prioritization of technical capability over socioeconomic preferences, ensuring access to the most qualified entities capable of meeting complex, classified, and time-sensitive R&D requirements. His primary procurement focus is on NAICS 541715—Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences—encompassing advanced materials, sensor development, autonomous systems, quantum computing applications, and next-generation intelligence analytics. He routinely acquires services involving systems integration, computational modeling, and experimental validation, supporting the Army’s push toward technological superiority in contested environments.
