Christopher Justice

Christopher Justice serves as a Contracting Officer for the W6QK Acc-apg Durham unit under the Department of the Army (W911NF), where he manages complex R&D and technical services acquisitions aligned with the Army’s modernization priorities. His portfolio centers on advancing disruptive technologies in physical, engineering, and life sciences, with a strong emphasis on autonomy, quantum systems, and intelligence horizon scanning. Justice oversees the full lifecycle of competitive procurements—from market research and solicitation to award and contract administration—ensuring alignment with federal acquisition regulations and mission-critical technological innovation goals. He routinely handles high-priority, non-commercial research contracts requiring specialized technical expertise and agile acquisition pathways. Justice works with a diverse range of contractors, including leading research institutions, defense technology firms, and specialized IT service providers, fostering collaborative partnerships that bridge academic innovation with military application. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he consistently engages vendors capable of delivering advanced computing solutions, systems engineering support, and scientific R&D services. His procurement approach emphasizes technical rigor, performance-based outcomes, and long-term vendor reliability over short-term cost savings. His contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 93.3% of awards issued without set-asides, indicating a focus on capability-driven selection rather than socioeconomic preferences. Nevertheless, he maintains a consistent 6.7% allocation to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured but intentional commitment to small business participation in high-impact technical programs. Justice’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541715 and 541712, reflecting deep expertise in physical and engineering sciences research, complemented by significant activity in custom computer programming (541511) and computing infrastructure services (518210). He regularly procures advanced simulation tools, autonomous system prototypes, data analytics platforms, and mission-critical software development services essential to Army R&D modernization efforts.
