Donald Gurry

Donald Gurry serves as a key procurement lead within the W6QK Acc-pica office of the Department of the Army, overseeing critical acquisitions that sustain military readiness through defense manufacturing, facility services, and operational support systems. His responsibilities include managing complex contract vehicles for ammunition production modernization, installation infrastructure maintenance, and mission-critical logistics systems. He specializes in high-stakes, technically demanding procurements that ensure force projection and combat system sustainability, frequently engaging in sole-source and competitive bidding processes under FAR Part 15. His work directly supports the Army’s strategic priorities in modernizing munitions supply chains and enhancing base-wide operational resilience. Gurry maintains consistent working relationships with major defense contractors including NORTHROP GRUMMAN SYSTEMS CORPORATION, GENERAL DYNAMICS OTS (WILKES BARRE), LLC, and PIONEERING DECISIVE SOLUTIONS INC, among others. These partnerships center on advanced systems integration, precision munitions manufacturing, and engineering services for defense applications. His contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, technical performance evaluation, and risk-managed acquisition strategies, often involving multiple award IDIQs and cost-reimbursement contract types to accommodate R&D and production scale-up phases. While the majority of his acquisitions are conducted as unrestricted competitions, Gurry demonstrates a deliberate commitment to small business participation, with approximately one-third of awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. He actively leverages small business capabilities in engineering, technical services, and manufacturing, fostering partnerships with firms such as BIGELOW FAMILY HOLDINGS LLC and WISENGINEERING LLC to enhance innovation and supply chain diversity. His procurement focus is concentrated in three primary NAICS categories: 511210 (Software Publishing), 541715 (Research and Development in Physical and Engineering Sciences), and 334511 (Aeronautical and Nautical System Manufacturing). These reflect deep expertise in software-enabled command and control systems, defense R&D, and precision guidance technologies critical to next-generation military operations.
