James P. Cummiskey serves as a Contracting/Agreements Officer within the W6QK Acc-pica organization under the Department of the Army, where he manages the acquisition of critical defense engineering and management support services essential to military readiness. His portfolio centers on sustaining combat systems, modernizing ammunition production infrastructure, and ensuring operational continuity across DoD installations. Cummiskey specializes in complex, technical contracts requiring rigorous compliance with FAR and DFARS regulations, frequently overseeing performance-based service acquisitions in engineering, systems integration, and operational logistics support. He plays a pivotal role in aligning procurement outcomes with the agency’s strategic priorities in force projection and munitions supply chain resilience. Cummiskey maintains long-standing, high-trust relationships with leading defense contractors including Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, General Dynamics OTS (Wilkes-Barre), LLC, and The Lockwood Group LLC. These partnerships are characterized by consistent recompete activity and performance-based contract structures, often involving multi-year task orders for engineering analysis, facility maintenance, and technical advisory services. His contracting approach emphasizes accountability, technical rigor, and sustained vendor performance, fostering collaborative environments that support mission-critical outcomes without reliance on small business set-asides. Notably, Cummiskey’s procurement portfolio reflects a 100% no set-aside preference, indicating a strategic focus on full and open competition to ensure access to the highest-capability industry partners. He does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, instead prioritizing technical merit, past performance, and mission alignment over socioeconomic categorization in award decisions. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), where he secures advanced technical expertise in defense systems engineering, ordnance lifecycle support, and facility modernization. He also frequently procures NAICS 541611 services for administrative and program management consulting, ensuring efficient contract execution and operational oversight across complex defense infrastructure programs.
