Christy J. Carlile

Christy J. Carlile serves as a key procurement professional within the W6QK Acc-apg Natick office under the Department of the Army, supporting the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command’s mission to advance soldier systems through technical innovation. She manages the acquisition of high-specialization engineering services critical to the development of next-generation battlefield equipment, including flame-resistant textiles, advanced medical instrumentation, and soldier-worn systems. Her work directly enables the Army’s modernization priorities by ensuring timely delivery of mission-critical technical solutions that enhance warfighter survivability, performance, and operational readiness. Carlile maintains a consistent working relationship with EPERNAY DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION LLC and TEVET LLC, both of which provide specialized engineering design, prototyping, and systems integration services. These partnerships reflect a focus on long-term, technically complex engagements requiring deep domain expertise in military-grade materials, human-systems integration, and ruggedized instrumentation. Her contracting approach prioritizes performance-based outcomes and technical rigor, favoring vendors with proven capabilities in defense-specific engineering environments. Carlile’s procurement portfolio 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 pool of technical expertise rather than socioeconomic preferences, aligning with the highly specialized nature of the requirements she manages. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her award structure, all vendors are evaluated on technical merit, past performance, and capacity to deliver complex engineering solutions under stringent military standards. Her primary focus lies in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), encompassing systems engineering, human factors analysis, and prototyping of soldier-worn technologies. She procures services related to advanced material development, environmental testing, and field-deployable instrumentation, supporting R&D efforts that bridge laboratory innovation with operational deployment. Her expertise is grounded in the technical demands of military-grade engineering, ensuring acquisitions meet exacting DoD performance and compliance benchmarks.
