Jon M. Glassic

Jon M. Glassic serves as a Contract Specialist within the W6QK Acc-pica organization under the Department of the Army, where he plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions to sustain combat systems, modernize ammunition production, and ensure operational readiness across military installations. He manages the full lifecycle of defense-related contracts, with a primary focus on ordnance manufacturing, logistics support systems, and technical engineering services. His work directly supports the Army’s strategic priorities in force projection and munitions supply chain resilience, ensuring timely delivery of mission-enabling capabilities through compliant, risk-managed procurement actions. Glassic maintains consistent contracting relationships with leading defense contractors including Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, General Dynamics OTS (Wilkes Barre), LLC, and The Lockwood Group LLC, among others. These partnerships center on the procurement of specialized ordnance components, guided missile systems, and technical services supporting installation infrastructure and munitions logistics. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous source selection, and long-term vendor collaboration to ensure technical fidelity and supply chain reliability in high-stakes defense environments. His procurement portfolio reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 94.1% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions, indicating a focus on maximizing technical capability and industrial capacity over socioeconomic targeting. While small business participation remains a secondary consideration at 5.9%, it is primarily channeled through Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, aligning with broader Army objectives without compromising mission-critical performance requirements. Glassic’s primary NAICS focus is 332994 (Small Arms, Ordnance, and Ordnance Accessories Manufacturing), accounting for over 70% of his portfolio, with additional emphasis on guided missile manufacturing, engineering services, and custom computer programming for defense applications. His expertise lies in procuring complex, high-precision ordnance systems and supporting technical services critical to the Army’s modernization and sustainment missions.
