Derek Fuller

Derek Fuller serves as a key procurement professional within the W6QK Acc-ri, a critical unit of the Department of the Army responsible for sustaining and modernizing the U.S. Army’s industrial base for ordnance and battlefield support systems. He manages the acquisition of high-precision munitions, fabricated metal components, and specialized machine tools essential to weapons system readiness and ammunition production lifecycles. His work directly supports the Army’s operational readiness by ensuring timely delivery of mission-critical ordnance manufacturing capabilities and maintenance services through compliant, performance-based contracting methods. Fuller maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized industrial contractors, including AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, FAXON MACHINING, LLC, PALANTIR USG INC, and Allied Metal Tech, LLC. These partnerships are built on technical expertise in ordnance manufacturing, precision machining, and defense-grade software integration for production tracking. His contracting approach favors established vendors with proven capabilities in defense industrial base environments, emphasizing quality assurance, compliance with MIL-SPEC standards, and supply chain resilience over broad competition. Fuller’s procurement portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a deliberate focus on technical capability and industrial capacity over socioeconomic preferences, prioritizing mission-critical performance and supply chain reliability in a high-stakes ordnance environment. While small business participation is not formally incentivized through set-asides, the nature of the work often attracts small, niche manufacturers with specialized tooling and fabrication expertise. His primary focus is NAICS 332994—Small Arms, Ordnance, and Ordnance Accessories Manufacturing—encompassing the procurement of precision-forged ordnance components, automated ammunition handling systems, and hardened machine tools used in military production facilities. He possesses deep domain expertise in defense manufacturing processes, including metallurgical specifications, explosive handling protocols, and defense logistics integration, ensuring all acquisitions meet stringent Army ordnance safety and performance requirements.
