Jonathan K. Carroll

Jonathan K. Carroll serves as a Contract Specialist within the W6QK Lad Contr Office under the Department of the Army, where he plays a pivotal role in executing procurements critical to sustaining and modernizing military-grade mechanical, electrical, and electromechanical systems. His responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of acquisition activities—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—for industrial maintenance, specialized manufacturing, and technical support services essential to Army platform readiness. He routinely manages complex contracts under FAR and DFARS guidelines, ensuring compliance with defense-specific requirements for quality, traceability, and operational reliability. Carroll maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including FIBER BUSINESS SOLUTIONS GROUP INC, AEROSPACE & COMMERCIAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLC, CRW CORP, FERRELLGAS, L.P., and EDGE TECHNOLOGY DISTRIBUTORS, INC., reflecting a balanced portfolio of large-capability vendors and niche technical providers. His procurement approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, leveraging long-term vendor partnerships to ensure rapid response, repair cycle optimization, and mission-critical component availability. These relationships are characterized by technical collaboration, strict adherence to specification compliance, and proactive risk mitigation in high-stakes maintenance environments. While the majority of his acquisitions are open to full and open competition (53.9%), Carroll demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with nearly half of his contracts awarded under Total Small Business Set-Asides (FAR 19.5). He actively prioritizes socioeconomic programs that enhance industrial base resilience, consistently engaging qualified small businesses capable of delivering specialized manufacturing and repair services aligned with Army sustainment goals. His primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 811310 (commercial and industrial machinery repair and maintenance), with significant activity in 333922 (conveying equipment manufacturing), 333517 (machine tool manufacturing), and 811219 (other industrial machinery repair). These reflect deep technical expertise in sustaining high-value mechanical systems, including precision tooling, material handling equipment, and industrial automation components critical to Army logistics and maintenance operations.
