CPT Kevin Stramara

CPT Kevin Stramara, as a Contracting Officer (P) and Assistant Acquisition Program Manager for TUAS under the W6QK Acc-apg Natick organization, leads the acquisition of mission-critical soldier systems for the U.S. Army. He manages the full lifecycle of procurements for advanced protective equipment, battlefield medical devices, and specialized instrumentation designed to enhance warfighter survivability and operational effectiveness. His role is central to translating technical requirements from Natick’s research and development teams into executable contracts that deliver cutting-edge capabilities to deployed forces, with a focus on rapid prototyping and field-deployable solutions. CPT Stramara maintains consistent procurement partnerships with EPERNAY DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION LLC and TEVET LLC, both of which provide specialized engineering, manufacturing, and integration services for military-grade systems. These relationships are characterized by long-term collaboration on complex, technology-driven acquisitions requiring rigorous compliance with military specifications and rapid turnaround timelines. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and technical innovation, often involving iterative development cycles aligned with Army modernization priorities. Stramara’s acquisition 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, particularly in highly specialized aerospace and defense manufacturing domains, rather than socioeconomic preferences. His contracting decisions prioritize capability, schedule, and technical fidelity over socioeconomic set-asides. His primary NAICS focus is 336411 (Aircraft Manufacturing), underscoring his specialization in procuring advanced avionics, integrated soldier systems, and ruggedized electronic platforms with aerospace-grade reliability. He routinely manages contracts for flight-critical components, wearable sensor arrays, and electromagnetic shielding technologies—products requiring stringent certification under MIL-STD and DO-160 standards. His domain expertise lies at the intersection of military aviation systems and soldier-worn technology, ensuring seamless interoperability across platforms.
