Keith B. Gregory

Keith B. Gregory serves as a key procurement professional within the W6QK Acc-rsa unit of the Department of the Army, responsible for managing complex acquisitions that sustain and modernize the Army’s aerial and missile defense systems. He oversees the procurement of mission-critical aerospace components, including avionics, sensor suites, propulsion systems, and guided missile subsystems supporting platforms such as the UH-60 Black Hawk and AH-64 Apache. His work directly enables the Army’s strategic modernization priorities by ensuring timely delivery of high-reliability, defense-grade technologies through competitive and compliant contracting processes. Gregory maintains a broad network of Tier 1 aerospace and defense contractors specializing in precision instrumentation, electronic warfare systems, and missile guidance technologies. While no single vendor dominates his portfolio, his contracting patterns reflect consistent engagement with firms possessing ITAR compliance, AS9100 certification, and DoD quality assurance credentials. He prioritizes technical capability over volume, fostering long-term partnerships with suppliers capable of supporting low-rate initial production and engineering change proposals for legacy and next-generation systems. His set-aside preferences are overwhelmingly non-set-aside, with 98.6% of awards conducted under full and open competition, reflecting the highly specialized nature of the technologies procured. Only 1.4% of acquisitions are set aside for small businesses, primarily under FAR 19.5, indicating a focus on technical readiness over socioeconomic targets, though qualified small businesses with niche capabilities in instrumentation and control systems are occasionally selected. Gregory’s procurement focus centers on NAICS 334515 (instrument manufacturing for electrical signal measurement) and 334513 (industrial process control instrumentation), with significant activity in guided missile manufacturing (336414). He specializes in acquiring high-precision test equipment, flight control sensors, radar signal processors, and analytical laboratory systems essential to system integration, qualification, and sustainment of Army aviation and air defense platforms.
