Erin Stevens

Erin Stevens serves as a Contracting Officer for the W6QK Acc-APG Cont Ct Wash Ofc under the Department of the Army, where she leads the acquisition of mission-critical C5ISR systems essential to land and expeditionary force readiness. Her portfolio centers on the development and integration of advanced electro-optic/infrared sensor systems, precision navigation and guidance technologies, and ruggedized power generation solutions that enhance battlefield situational awareness. She manages full lifecycle procurements—from market research and solicitation to contract award and administration—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning acquisitions with the Army’s modernization priorities for next-generation tactical capabilities. Stevens maintains a consistent working relationship with Cummins Power Generation Inc., a key provider of expeditionary power systems tailored for austere environments. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established industry partners with proven expertise in defense-grade electro-optics and ruggedized engineering, emphasizing technical reliability, supply chain resilience, and rapid fielding timelines. While she collaborates primarily with large, mission-critical contractors, her approach remains open to qualified small businesses that can meet stringent performance and certification requirements. Her procurement activity is entirely classified under the “No Set-Aside” category, reflecting a focus on technical capability over socioeconomic preferences. This pattern underscores her commitment to mission necessity, where performance, interoperability, and operational readiness take precedence over socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. Stevens specializes in NAICS 334511—Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing—focusing on high-reliability sensors, inertial navigation units, and power systems engineered for extreme conditions. Her acquisitions directly support the Army’s modernization of tactical C5ISR architectures, requiring deep domain knowledge in electro-optical signal processing, GPS-denied navigation, and expeditionary energy solutions.
