Ellen Widelitz

Ellen Widelitz serves as a key procurement professional within the W6QK Acc-pica organization under the Department of the Army, supporting critical military readiness through the acquisition of facility infrastructure, operational support systems, and defense-related construction services. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts aligned with the agency’s mission to sustain combat systems, maintain installation infrastructure, and ensure reliable logistics and munitions supply chains. Her work primarily involves the solicitation and administration of construction, facility maintenance, and installation services contracts, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and strategic modernization goals for Army installations. Widelitz maintains established working relationships with major defense and infrastructure contractors including NORTHROP GRUMMAN SYSTEMS CORPORATION, GENERAL DYNAMICS OTS (WILKES BARRE), LLC, and PIONEERING DECISIVE SOLUTIONS INC, alongside specialized small businesses such as WISENGINEERING LLC and BIGELOW FAMILY HOLDINGS LLC. Her contracting patterns reflect a balanced approach between large prime contractors delivering complex, integrated solutions and small businesses providing niche construction, electrical, and building services. These partnerships are typically structured through competitive sealed bidding and negotiated contracts under FAR Part 15 procedures. Her procurement strategy demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with over two-thirds of her awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate effort to expand economic opportunity within the defense industrial base. She also routinely utilizes service-disabled veteran-owned small business set-asides, aligning with Department of Defense socioeconomic objectives and promoting veteran entrepreneurship in critical infrastructure support roles. Widelitz’s primary technical focus lies in commercial and institutional building construction (NAICS 236220), with significant activity in electrical (238210), plumbing and HVAC (238220), and building services (561790) contracting. Her expertise spans the full lifecycle of facility modernization projects—from design-phase coordination to construction management—ensuring Army installations meet operational readiness standards through resilient, code-compliant infrastructure.
