Debra E. Elmore-Harrell

Debra E. Elmore-Harrell serves as a Business Support Specialist within the W6QK Acc-apg organization under the Department of the Army (W91CRB), playing a pivotal role in supporting the acquisition of advanced aeronautical instrumentation and battlefield data systems. She facilitates the end-to-end procurement lifecycle for mission-critical sensing, communications, and analytical platforms, ensuring alignment with the Army’s modernization priorities in radio frequency systems and tactical network capabilities. Her work directly enables the fielding of next-generation intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance technologies by coordinating requirements validation, contract documentation, and vendor engagement under strict regulatory and technical compliance frameworks. While specific contractor names are not currently available in the procurement record, Elmore-Harrell maintains a vendor-neutral procurement posture, engaging with a broad spectrum of defense industrial base suppliers capable of delivering high-reliability measuring and control devices. Her contracting approach emphasizes technical precision, rapid prototyping support, and seamless integration of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components into military-grade systems, fostering partnerships with firms possessing specialized expertise in electromagnetic instrumentation and embedded signal processing. Elmore-Harrell’s acquisition portfolio reflects a 100% non-set-aside preference, indicating a focus on open competition based on technical merit and capability rather than socioeconomic categorization. This approach prioritizes mission readiness and system interoperability, ensuring the most capable vendors—regardless of size or certification—are considered for complex, high-stakes procurements. Her primary NAICS focus is 334519 (Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing), underscoring her specialization in procuring precision sensors, data acquisition units, RF signal conditioners, and battlefield telemetry systems. She consistently supports acquisitions requiring compliance with MIL-STD and DoD cybersecurity standards, working closely with engineers and program managers to translate operational needs into technically sound contract statements of work.
