Cindy K. Wagoner

Cindy K. Wagoner serves as a key procurement lead within the W6QK Acc-ri under the Department of the Army, responsible for managing acquisitions that sustain and modernize the Army’s industrial base for ordnance, precision components, and battlefield support systems. Her work directly supports the lifecycle readiness of weapons systems and ammunition production facilities by securing critical manufacturing, maintenance, and engineering services. She handles a diverse portfolio of contracts spanning machine tool procurement, fabricated metal products, and specialized industrial maintenance, ensuring alignment with DoD standards for reliability, interoperability, and supply chain resilience. Wagoner maintains consistent relationships with core contractors including AMD International Technologies LLC, Faxon Machining, LLC, Palantir USG Inc., and Allied Metal Tech, LLC—firms recognized for their expertise in precision machining, defense-grade fabrication, and mission-critical software integration. Her contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in technical capability, quality assurance, and compliance with military specifications. She frequently engages with niche manufacturers capable of producing custom ordnance components and specialized sealing devices, fostering collaboration with suppliers who meet stringent DoD certification requirements. A strong advocate for small business participation, Wagoner prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, with over half of her awards designated for small businesses. Her contracting patterns reflect a deliberate strategy to broaden the defense industrial base by empowering capable small manufacturers, particularly those with expertise in metal fabrication, polymer processing, and industrial repair. This commitment ensures competitive bidding and innovation from non-traditional defense suppliers. Her primary NAICS focus includes machine tool manufacturing, urethane and foam product production, plastics resin fabrication, and commercial machinery maintenance—domains essential to ammunition production lines and field equipment sustainment. Wagoner’s technical expertise lies in procuring high-integrity components such as gaskets, seals, and custom-machined metal parts used in explosive ordnance handling and armored vehicle systems, demonstrating deep familiarity with defense manufacturing supply chains.
