Diane Wyatt

Diane Wyatt serves as a Contract Specialist within the W6QK Acc-rsa under the Department of the Army, where she plays a pivotal role in executing complex acquisitions for mission-critical aerospace systems supporting U.S. Army aerial and missile defense modernization. She manages the full lifecycle of contracts for advanced aircraft components, avionics, propulsion systems, and sensor integration tied to platforms such as the UH-60 Black Hawk and AH-64 Apache. Her work directly enables the agency’s strategic objectives to enhance operational readiness through the procurement of high-reliability, defense-grade aerospace technologies, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and defense-specific technical standards. Wyatt maintains established contracting relationships with leading defense contractors, primarily Lockheed Martin Corporation and Alaska Aerospace Corp., who provide engineered solutions for next-generation aerial defense systems. Her procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in technical proficiency, performance accountability, and adherence to stringent military specifications. These relationships are built on consistent engagement across multiple contract types, including cost-reimbursement and fixed-price incentive structures, to support rapid prototyping, sustainment, and system upgrades. Her contracting portfolio reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of awards issued without set-asides, indicating a focus on technical capability over socioeconomic categorization. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her evaluations remain grounded in merit-based selection criteria aligned with mission-critical performance requirements. Wyatt specializes in NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing) and NAICS 336411 (Aircraft Manufacturing), procuring precision-engineered components such as flight control actuators, radar integration modules, and missile guidance subsystems. Her technical expertise spans avionics architecture, propulsion reliability, and electro-optical sensor systems, positioning her as a key operator in the Army’s aerospace modernization pipeline.
