Jeannie Kang

Jeannie Kang serves as a key procurement lead within the W6QK Acc-APG Cont Ct Wash Ofc, part of the Department of the Army’s C5ISR modernization initiative. She manages complex acquisitions focused on advanced electro-optic/infrared sensor systems, precision navigation and guidance technologies, and ruggedized power generation solutions critical to expeditionary force readiness. Her work directly supports the development and integration of next-generation battlefield sensing and energy systems, ensuring field-deployable capabilities meet stringent military performance standards. Kang handles full lifecycle contracting for research, engineering, and prototyping efforts, often coordinating with technical stakeholders to align acquisition strategy with operational requirements. Her primary contractor relationships center on CUMMINS POWER GENERATION INC., reflecting a strong emphasis on reliable, field-deployable power systems tailored for harsh environments. She maintains a consistent pattern of partnering with industrial primes possessing deep expertise in defense-grade engineering, particularly in thermal management, energy density optimization, and environmental hardening. These relationships are characterized by long-term technical collaboration, performance-based contracting, and iterative development cycles aligned with Army modernization timelines. Kang’s procurement portfolio reflects a 100% non-set-aside orientation, with no utilization of 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides. Her contracting approach prioritizes technical capability and mission-critical performance over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with the high-stakes, rapid-prototype nature of C5ISR modernization. While small business participation is not formally targeted, she maintains compliance with all federal acquisition regulations and may engage small firms as subcontractors within prime contractor teams. Her primary NAICS focus is 541712—Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences—accounting for 80% of her portfolio, underscoring her specialization in advanced sensor R&D, signal processing, and embedded systems engineering. The remaining 20% involves software and data solutions tied to sensor fusion and battlefield analytics. Kang’s expertise lies at the intersection of defense engineering and acquisition innovation, ensuring cutting-edge technologies transition from lab to battlefield with rigorous oversight and compliance.
