Gina Pellegrino

Gina Pellegrino serves as a key procurement lead within the W6QK Acc-pica organization under the Department of the Army, supporting the acquisition of critical defense manufacturing and operational support systems essential to military readiness. She manages complex contract actions for ammunition production, precision measuring and control devices, and aircraft auxiliary equipment, ensuring alignment with the Army’s strategic modernization goals. Her work directly enables the sustainment of combat systems and the integrity of force projection logistics, with a focus on mission-critical, high-reliability technical solutions that meet stringent DoD standards for performance and safety. Pellegrino maintains consistent working relationships with major defense contractors including Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, General Dynamics OTS (Wilkes-Barre), LLC, and Pioneering Decisive Solutions Inc., alongside specialized firms such as Bigelow Family Holdings LLC and WisenEngineering LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established industrial base vendors with proven capabilities in defense manufacturing and systems integration. Her contracting approach emphasizes technical rigor, supply chain resilience, and long-term sustainment planning, often resulting in multi-year, performance-based agreements. Her procurement patterns show a strong orientation toward open competition, with 83.3% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions, indicating a primary focus on technical capability and mission need over socioeconomic preferences. However, she consistently allocates 16.7% of opportunities to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured but active commitment to small business participation within the defense industrial base. Pellegrino’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 332993 (Ammunition Manufacturing), followed by 334519 (Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing) and 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing). She specializes in acquiring precision munitions systems, advanced sensor and control instrumentation, and aircraft support components, requiring deep technical understanding of defense manufacturing standards, quality assurance protocols, and defense logistics frameworks.
