Elise Wong

Elise Wong serves as a secondary contracting professional within the W6QK Acc-Dta, a unit of the U.S. Army Contracting Command – Detroit Arsenal, supporting the acquisition of critical ground combat systems and enabling technologies essential to modernizing Army tactical forces. While not the lead contracting officer, she plays a vital supporting role in the lifecycle management of complex defense procurements, assisting in the solicitation, evaluation, and award of contracts for armored vehicles, small arms, and integrated ordnance systems. Her work directly contributes to the agency’s mission of fielding resilient, survivable, and technologically advanced platforms that enhance soldier lethality and battlefield mobility, with a strong emphasis on rapid prototyping and next-generation capability development. Wong collaborates closely with a core group of prime contractors including BAE SYSTEMS LAND & ARMAMENTS L.P., BAY SHIP & YACHT CO, MURTECH, INC., JAPAN MARINE UNITED CORPORATION, and PROFESSIONAL CONTRACT SERVICES, INC. These partnerships span both large defense primes and specialized niche suppliers, reflecting a balanced approach to sourcing advanced military hardware and technical services. Her involvement typically includes contract administration support, technical requirement alignment, and vendor performance monitoring, ensuring seamless integration of complex systems into Army inventory. Her procurement portfolio shows a strong preference for open competition, with 66.7% of acquisitions conducted without set-asides, while 33.3% are structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This pattern indicates a strategic balance between leveraging industrial capacity from established defense contractors and actively fostering small business innovation through targeted socioeconomic opportunities. Wong’s primary technical focus lies in NAICS 336992 for Military Armored Vehicle, Tank, and Tank Component Manufacturing and NAICS 336413 for Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing. She supports the procurement of armored hulls, turret systems, survivability enhancements, and mission-critical avionics components, demonstrating deep familiarity with defense manufacturing standards, military specifications, and integrated logistics support requirements.
