Justin S. Reid

Justin S. Reid serves as a Contract Specialist within the W6QK Acc Rrad under the Department of the Army, where he plays a pivotal role in managing complex procurement actions to sustain and modernize the Army’s organic industrial base. His responsibilities include soliciting, negotiating, and administering contracts for the repair, maintenance, and localized manufacturing of armored vehicle systems, heavy equipment, and mission-critical industrial machinery. Reid specializes in technical acquisitions requiring deep mechanical and logistical expertise, ensuring alignment with Army readiness objectives and Defense Industrial Base (DIB) modernization priorities. He routinely handles multi-year, performance-based contracts for specialized industrial services and engineered components critical to tracked vehicle and material handling operations. Reid maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including AEROSPACE & COMMERCIAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLC, YUKON MANAGEMENT, LLC, HARTECH GROUP LLC, CANADIAN COMMERCIAL CORP, and HENTZEN COATINGS INC. These partnerships reflect a blend of domestic industrial providers and international commercial entities, often engaged for precision machining, corrosion protection, and specialized logistics support. His contracting approach emphasizes vendor reliability, technical compliance, and supply chain resilience, favoring long-term performance contracts over short-term task orders to ensure continuity in mission-critical maintenance cycles. While the majority of his acquisitions—73.3%—are conducted without set-asides, Reid actively supports small business participation through Total Small Business Set-Asides (24.4%), aligning with FAR 19.5 guidelines. He occasionally utilizes Local Area Set-Asides (2.2%) under FAR 26.2 to bolster regional industrial capacity. His socioeconomic contracting patterns demonstrate a balanced commitment to both efficiency and small business development, prioritizing qualified vendors with proven technical capability over rigid socioeconomic quotas. Reid’s procurement focus centers on NAICS 423930 (Recyclable Material Merchant Wholesalers), reflecting significant demand for industrial scrap, spare parts, and remanufactured components. He also frequently procures under 333618 (Other Engine Equipment Manufacturing) and 325120 (Industrial Gas Manufacturing), underscoring his technical expertise in mechanical systems, fluid power, and industrial support infrastructure. His domain knowledge spans armored vehicle sustainment, heavy equipment overhaul, and specialized coating applications for military-grade machinery.
