Felecia Pritchett

Felecia Pritchett serves as a key procurement lead within the W6QK Acc Wva under the Department of the Army’s W911PT organization, responsible for managing acquisitions critical to the sustainment and modernization of U.S. Army ordnance systems. Based at Watervliet Arsenal, she oversees the procurement of high-precision metal components, industrial machinery, and specialized manufacturing equipment essential to artillery and munitions production. Her role ensures alignment with Army readiness goals by facilitating timely contract awards for mission-critical maintenance, repair, and production capabilities, with a strong emphasis on technical compliance and supply chain resilience. Pritchett maintains consistent relationships with a select group of specialized contractors, including FinCANTIERI Marine Repair LLC, McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, The Blackledge Group, Inc., DMYLES INC., and RDC JPA Architecture, L.L.L.P. These partnerships span industrial fabrication, facility modernization, and precision manufacturing services, reflecting a preference for vendors with proven expertise in defense-grade metalworking and infrastructure support. Her contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, technical validation, and performance-based outcomes to ensure reliability in high-stakes ordnance environments. A strong advocate for small business participation, Pritchett prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Aside contracts under FAR 19.5, with 71.4% of her acquisitions designated for small businesses. This reflects a deliberate strategy to cultivate a robust supplier base of qualified small firms capable of meeting stringent military specifications, fostering innovation and capacity building within the defense industrial base. Her procurement focus centers on NAICS 332994 (Small Arms and Ordnance Accessories Manufacturing), complemented by significant activity in iron and steel forging (332111), secondary aluminum smelting (331314), and petroleum lubricant manufacturing (324191). This technical profile underscores deep expertise in advanced materials processing and industrial systems essential to artillery component lifecycle management and munitions production sustainment.
