Elaine Modl

Elaine Modl serves as a key procurement professional within the W6QK Acc-apg Adelphi office of the Department of the Army, supporting the agency’s mission to advance military scientific and technical capabilities through the acquisition of high-precision instrumentation and mission-critical engineering services. She manages a portfolio focused on laboratory-grade analytical equipment, electronic measurement systems, and secure computing infrastructure essential for physical and engineering research. Her work ensures that Army R&D facilities maintain cutting-edge capabilities in areas such as materials characterization, signal analysis, and data acquisition, aligning acquisitions with national defense science priorities. Modl maintains consistent relationships with specialized vendors including Physical Electronics USA, Inc., AMD International Technologies LLC, and ILLUMINA, INC., reflecting a preference for technically proficient suppliers with expertise in scientific instrumentation and secure data systems. She also collaborates with engineering and maintenance contractors such as JAXON ENGINEERING AND MAINTENANCE LLC and MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC to support facility modernization and lab infrastructure. Her contracting approach emphasizes technical compliance, performance-based requirements, and long-term vendor reliability over price alone. Her procurement patterns show a strong preference for open competition, with 83.3% of awards issued without set-aside designations, indicating a focus on technical merit and capability over socioeconomic criteria. However, she actively supports small business participation, with 16.7% of awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating balanced compliance with federal contracting goals. Modl’s primary NAICS focus is on 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing), reflecting deep expertise in procuring mass spectrometers, spectrophotometers, and other precision lab equipment. She also routinely acquires services under 541715 for physical and engineering R&D, alongside electromedical apparatus (334510) and facility maintenance (811219), underscoring her technical fluency across multidisciplinary defense science domains.
