Colleen Paglio

Colleen Paglio serves as a key procurement professional within the W6QK Acc-pica office of the Department of the Army, supporting the agency’s mission to sustain combat readiness through the acquisition of defense manufacturing, facility services, and operational logistics systems. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on technical services, installation infrastructure support, and munitions supply chain enablers, ensuring alignment with Army modernization priorities. Her work directly contributes to force projection capabilities by securing mission-critical systems that maintain operational continuity across military installations. Paglio maintains consistent working relationships with major defense contractors including NORTHROP GRUMMAN SYSTEMS CORPORATION and GENERAL DYNAMICS OTS (WILKES BARRE), LLC, as well as specialized firms such as PIONEERING DECISIVE SOLUTIONS INC and WISENGINEERING LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established industry players with proven expertise in defense manufacturing, engineering services, and logistics support. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and rigorous compliance with defense acquisition regulations, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in technical reliability and mission alignment. While the majority of her acquisitions—approximately 90%—are conducted without set-asides, she maintains a deliberate 10% focus on Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured commitment to small business participation without compromising mission-critical requirements. Her socioeconomic contracting patterns prioritize capability and readiness over socioeconomic categorization, aligning with the agency’s operational imperatives. Her primary NAICS focus lies in All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services (541990), reflecting heavy demand for engineering, systems integration, and technical advisory services. Additional procurement activity includes facility services under Hotel and Motel codes (721110, 721191) and specialized textile manufacturing (314910), indicating a broad scope that spans both traditional defense and ancillary support domains. Her expertise lies in navigating complex, multi-domain acquisition needs critical to sustaining Army readiness.
