Courtney-Lynn Barnes

Courtney-Lynn Barnes serves as a Contract Specialist within the W6QK Acc-pica organization under the Department of the Army, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions that sustain combat systems and enable force projection. She manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for defense-related technical services, with a primary focus on custom computer programming and software development supporting ammunition production, logistics automation, and installation infrastructure systems. Her work directly supports the Army’s strategic modernization goals by ensuring timely, compliant, and efficient acquisition of software solutions that enhance operational readiness and munitions supply chain resilience. Barnes maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of defense contractors including NORTHROP GRUMMAN SYSTEMS CORPORATION, GENERAL DYNAMICS OTS (WILKES BARRE), LLC, THE LOCKWOOD GROUP LLC, LOGISYS TECHNICAL SERVICES INC, and PROGSIT LLC. These partnerships are characterized by long-term, performance-based contracts for complex software integration, systems engineering, and mission-critical application development. She collaborates closely with these prime contractors to ensure technical compliance, risk mitigation, and adherence to DoD acquisition regulations, fostering a results-driven procurement environment grounded in accountability and operational necessity. Her procurement activity is exclusively classified under the “No Set-Aside” category, reflecting a strategic emphasis on leveraging the technical depth and capacity of established defense industry partners rather than socioeconomic set-asides. While small business participation is not a primary mechanism in her portfolio, her contracting decisions prioritize mission-critical capability, proven performance, and system interoperability over socioeconomic preferences. Barnes specializes in NAICS 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services), consistently procuring bespoke software development, system modernization, and digital transformation services for Army logistics and munitions infrastructure. Her technical domain expertise lies in secure, scalable software solutions that support real-time data integration, automated inventory tracking, and weapons system maintenance platforms, making her a key enabler of the Army’s digital modernization initiatives.
