Iliana Griffith

Iliana Griffith supports the W6QM Micc-Yuma Proving Ground under the Department of the Army by managing technical procurement initiatives critical to military test and evaluation operations. She oversees the acquisition of specialized engineering services, precision instrumentation, and mission-critical maintenance solutions that sustain the readiness of aerospace and battlefield systems. Her work ensures the timely delivery of high-fidelity data collection, communication equipment, and calibration services essential to defense system validation. Griffith’s procurement portfolio is heavily focused on technical support contracts requiring deep domain expertise in military testing environments and complex system integration. Her primary contractor relationship is with TRAX INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION, a trusted provider of technical services for defense testing and range operations. Griffith consistently partners with this vendor to deliver integrated solutions for instrumentation, data acquisition, and field support, reflecting a long-standing, performance-driven contracting relationship. Her approach emphasizes reliability, technical compliance, and operational continuity, favoring established contractors with proven capabilities in high-stakes military environments over speculative or non-specialized vendors. Griffith’s contracting activity shows no reliance on socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a mission-critical procurement strategy prioritizing technical proficiency and rapid response over socioeconomic preferences. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in her portfolio, her decisions are driven by the necessity to maintain operational readiness through proven, qualified vendors with demonstrated experience in classified and high-tempo test ranges. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 811219 (Other Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Repair and Maintenance) and 921190 (Other General Government Support), underscoring her specialization in sustaining complex test infrastructure and providing mission-critical technical services. She procures calibration systems, field-deployable diagnostics, communication test beds, and maintenance support for advanced instrumentation—domains requiring rigorous technical standards and defense-specific compliance.
