Cole Harris

Cole Harris serves as a procurement specialist within the W6QK Acc-ri office of the Department of the Army, supporting the sustainment and modernization of the Army’s industrial base for munitions, precision components, and battlefield support systems. He manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions centered on motor and generator manufacturing, fabricated metal products, and critical maintenance services essential to weapons systems and ammunition production. His work ensures the reliability and readiness of fielded equipment through timely contract execution aligned with Army logistics and industrial policy. Harris operates within a framework that prioritizes mission-critical supply chain resilience and technical compliance with defense manufacturing standards. He maintains consistent contracting relationships with key industrial partners including AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, FAXON MACHINING, LLC, PALANTIR USG INC, and Allied Metal Tech, LLC, each providing specialized engineering, machining, and systems integration services. His procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration with firms possessing proven capabilities in high-tolerance fabrication, ordnance-compatible components, and secure defense software platforms. These partnerships reflect a preference for established contractors with demonstrated compliance in defense supply chain security and quality assurance protocols. Harris’s contracting patterns show a strong emphasis on open competition, with 75% of awards issued without set-aside designations, while 25% are structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This balance reflects a strategic commitment to leveraging small business innovation without compromising mission-critical delivery timelines or technical rigor. He actively supports small business participation through targeted solicitations, ensuring compliance with socioeconomic objectives while maintaining performance standards. His primary NAICS focus includes 335312 (Motor and Generator Manufacturing), 332999 (Miscellaneous Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing), and 337110 (Wood Kitchen Cabinet and Countertop Manufacturing), the latter indicating potential overlap with non-standard or dual-use fabrication requirements. His expertise lies in procuring precision-engineered metal components, electromechanical systems, and specialized tooling critical to Army ordnance lifecycle support and industrial base modernization.
