Felicia R. Dortch

Felicia R. Dortch serves as a Contract Specialist within the W6QK Acc-rsa organization under the Department of the Army, where she plays a pivotal role in executing complex acquisitions to sustain and modernize the U.S. Army’s aerial and missile defense systems. She manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for mission-critical aerospace platforms, including components for the UH-60 and AH-64 Apache helicopters, as well as guided missile systems and supporting avionics. Her work directly supports the agency’s strategic imperative to enhance battlefield readiness through advanced sensor integration, propulsion reliability, and next-generation missile defense technologies, ensuring timely delivery of high-priority defense capabilities. Dortch maintains consistent contracting relationships with leading defense prime contractors, most notably Lockheed Martin Corporation and Alaska Aerospace Corp., with whom she collaborates on integrated systems development, technical engineering support, and specialized manufacturing. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, technical compliance, and risk mitigation in high-stakes aerospace environments. She works closely with these vendors to align deliverables with Army operational requirements, leveraging formal contract vehicles such as Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) and Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee (CPFF) arrangements to ensure technical fidelity and schedule adherence. Dortch’s contracting portfolio reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her awards issued under no set-aside classifications. While she does not routinely utilize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her approach prioritizes mission-critical capability over socioeconomic criteria, aligning with the technical complexity and national security imperatives of her portfolio. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336414 (Guided Missile and Space Vehicle Manufacturing), with significant activity in engineering services (541330) and physical sciences R&D (541712). She specializes in procuring guided missile components, flight control systems, radar integration hardware, and advanced propulsion subsystems, demonstrating deep technical fluency in aerospace defense systems and defense acquisition regulations.
