Fatimata Diallo

Fatimata Diallo serves as a Contracting Officer for the W6QK Acc-apg Adelphi under the Department of the Army, where she manages the acquisition of mission-critical scientific and engineering capabilities essential to national defense R&D. Her portfolio centers on high-precision laboratory instrumentation, electronic measurement systems, and secure computing infrastructure, supporting advanced physical and engineering sciences programs. Diallo ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with the agency’s strategic objectives in technical innovation and operational readiness. She oversees full and open competitions as well as targeted set-asides, balancing technical rigor with socioeconomic objectives. Diallo maintains established relationships with a core group of specialized vendors, including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC for facility-related engineering services, PHYSICAL ELECTRONICS USA, INC. for advanced sensor and instrumentation systems, JAXON ENGINEERING AND MAINTENANCE LLC for technical maintenance support, AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC for secure computing solutions, and ILLUMINA, INC. for next-generation analytical equipment. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for proven technical partners with demonstrated expertise in defense-relevant domains, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in performance reliability and compliance with security protocols. Her set-aside preferences are heavily skewed toward full and open competition, with 83% of awards issued without socioeconomic restrictions. However, she actively supports small business participation, with 14.9% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and 2.1% awarded through 8(a) competed contracts. This reflects a balanced approach—prioritizing technical capability while maintaining meaningful opportunities for qualified small businesses in specialized technical sectors. Diallo’s procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) and 334515 (Instrument Manufacturing for Measuring and Testing Electricity and Electrical Signals), reflecting her deep specialization in scientific instrumentation and electronic measurement systems. She also regularly procures related professional equipment through NAICS 423490 and specialized engineering services under 333249, demonstrating expertise in acquiring complex, high-reliability systems for defense laboratories and research facilities.
