KeYanna R. Boone

KeYanna R. Boone serves as a Contracting Officer within the W6QK Acc-orlando office under the Department of the Army, where she plays a pivotal role in advancing military training systems and defense technology integration. She manages complex acquisitions for research, development, and technical services critical to modernizing live-fire simulation infrastructure, mission command systems, and aviation/artillery training platforms. Her portfolio emphasizes high-technical-risk, mission-critical contracts that support operational readiness through innovation in engineering and systems integration, aligning closely with the agency’s mandate to deliver next-generation training capabilities to the U.S. Army. Boone maintains consistent procurement relationships with leading defense technology contractors including TORCH RESEARCH, LLC, AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY INTERNATIONAL, and FIDELITY TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION. These partnerships are characterized by long-term collaboration on R&D-driven contracts requiring specialized engineering expertise, systems integration, and rapid prototyping. Her contracting approach prioritizes performance-based outcomes, technical rigor, and agile acquisition methodologies to meet evolving battlefield requirements. Her set-aside preferences reflect a strong emphasis on open competition, with 85.7% of awards issued without socioeconomic set-asides. The remaining 14.3% are structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured but deliberate commitment to small business participation without compromising mission-critical technical needs. Boone’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541715 (Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences), where she drives innovation in defense systems engineering, and NAICS 325412 (Pharmaceutical Preparation Manufacturing), reflecting niche requirements for chemical, biological, and medical countermeasure development in support of soldier readiness. Her technical domain expertise spans advanced simulation, human performance analytics, and integrated training environments, positioning her at the intersection of defense innovation and operational capability delivery.
