Douglas Pick

Douglas Pick supports the procurement mission of U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) by managing critical acquisitions in advanced ordnance and ammunition systems essential to special operations readiness. Though his formal title is not listed, his role centers on executing high-priority contracts for mission-critical small arms, munitions, and associated ordnance accessories, ensuring that SOF units are equipped with reliable, precision-engineered weaponry tailored for high-stakes, low-visibility operations. His acquisitions directly enable tactical superiority through the rapid fielding of next-generation small arms systems and ammunition that meet the rigorous performance standards of global special operations forces. His primary contractor relationship is with Shaver Foods LLC of Fayetteville, Arkansas, a vendor consistently engaged in the procurement of specialized ordnance and ammunition components. This enduring partnership suggests a trusted, performance-driven relationship rooted in technical compliance, supply chain reliability, and adherence to military specifications. Pick’s contracting patterns indicate a preference for established vendors with proven capability in manufacturing defense-grade munitions, emphasizing quality control and just-in-time delivery over broad vendor competition. Set-aside preferences show a 100% focus on unrestricted competitions, with no use of 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic programs. This reflects a mission-critical procurement posture where technical capability and operational readiness take precedence over socioeconomic objectives, consistent with USSOCOM’s need for rapid, high-assurance supply chains. His procurement focus is squarely on NAICS 332992 (Small Arms Ammunition Manufacturing) and 332994 (Small Arms, Ordnance, and Ordnance Accessories Manufacturing), indicating deep expertise in small-caliber munitions, explosive ordnance, and weapon subsystems. He specializes in acquiring precision-engineered ammunition, armor-piercing rounds, and specialized ordnance accessories designed for special operations environments, demonstrating technical fluency in ballistic performance, environmental resilience, and military standards compliance.
