Joseph Novick

Joseph Novick serves as Program Manager at the W6QK Acc-apg Natick facility under the Department of the Army’s W911QY organization, where he leads the acquisition and lifecycle management of specialized soldier systems critical to battlefield readiness. His responsibilities encompass the end-to-end procurement of advanced chemical-based protective materials, flame-resistant combat apparel, and mission-critical life-sustaining instrumentation. Novick plays a pivotal role in translating operational warfighter requirements into technically rigorous solicitation packages, ensuring compliance with DoD standards for durability, chemical resistance, and performance under extreme environmental conditions. He primarily manages competitive sealed bidding and negotiated acquisitions within the technical services and specialized manufacturing domains. Novick maintains consistent, long-term partnerships with EPERNAY DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION LLC and TEVET LLC, both of which deliver high-precision manufacturing and technical integration services for soldier system components. These relationships are characterized by deep technical collaboration, iterative prototyping cycles, and rapid response to field feedback, reflecting a vendor-partner model focused on agility and mission adaptability. His contracting approach prioritizes proven technical capability over broad competition, favoring contractors with demonstrated expertise in chemical formulation, textile engineering, and military-spec compliance. Novick’s procurement portfolio reflects a 100% non-set-aside strategy, with no utilization of 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic programs. His focus remains squarely on technical merit and mission-critical performance, prioritizing vendor qualifications and proven system reliability over socioeconomic preferences. This approach aligns with the agency’s operational imperative to field mission-ready equipment without compromise. His primary NAICS focus is 325998—All Other Miscellaneous Chemical Product and Preparation Manufacturing—indicating deep specialization in the procurement of advanced chemical formulations, flame-retardant coatings, and composite materials for protective gear. Novick’s expertise lies in the intersection of chemical engineering and military application, ensuring that procured systems meet stringent DoD specifications for thermal stability, toxicity control, and battlefield survivability.
