Jan Juanites

Jan Juanites serves as a key procurement lead within the W6QM Micc-ft Drum, a critical component of the Department of the Army responsible for equipping military units with specialized sporting, athletic, and industrial goods essential to soldier readiness and training sustainment. Responsible for managing the acquisition lifecycle of mission-critical equipment, Juanites oversees contracts for high-performance athletic gear, surgical supplies, and industrial-grade training infrastructure, ensuring alignment with Army operational standards and field durability requirements. Their work directly supports force projection and logistical resilience by securing reliable, compliant, and mission-tailored solutions for deployed and garrisoned units. Juanites maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including VPB LLC, LEGACY MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS LLC, AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, LARC INDUSTRIES INC, and MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in manufacturing durable athletic equipment, medical-grade supplies, and field-ready infrastructure. The contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor reliability, technical compliance, and responsive delivery capabilities, often leveraging firm-fixed-price and performance-based contract structures to ensure accountability and mission alignment. A defining feature of Juanites’ procurement strategy is a 100% Small Business Set-Aside policy under FAR 19.5, demonstrating an unwavering commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals. All acquisitions are structured to maximize opportunities for small businesses, ensuring broad participation across disadvantaged, veteran-owned, and service-disabled veteran-owned entities. This approach reinforces the Army’s mandate to strengthen the defense industrial base through inclusive contracting practices. The procurement portfolio is concentrated in three NAICS categories—339112 (Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing), 339113 (Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing), and 339920 (Sporting and Athletic Goods Manufacturing)—each representing one-third of activity. Juanites specializes in sourcing high-intensity training equipment, field medical kits, and ruggedized athletic gear engineered for extreme environments, reflecting deep technical familiarity with military-grade material specifications and performance benchmarks.
