Kellie R. Clavijo

Kellie R. Clavijo serves as a key procurement specialist supporting the W6QK Acc-apg under the Department of the Army’s W91CRB organization, where she facilitates the acquisition of advanced aeronautical instrumentation, radio frequency systems, and battlefield data analytics platforms. Her role centers on executing complex contracts for next-generation intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance technologies, ensuring alignment with the Army’s modernization priorities in tactical communications and sensor integration. She manages the full lifecycle of procurements—from requirements validation to contract award and administration—working closely with technical stakeholders to translate operational needs into actionable solicitation language and performance specifications. While specific contractor names are not currently available in the procurement record, Clavijo’s portfolio consistently engages defense contractors with deep expertise in electronic warfare systems, avionics integration, and real-time data processing. Her working relationships are characterized by collaboration with prime contractors possessing proven capabilities in ruggedized hardware development and secure communications architectures, often requiring compliance with MIL-STD and ITAR regulations. She maintains a vendor engagement model that prioritizes technical readiness, past performance, and systems integration experience over cost alone. Clavijo’s contracting activity reflects a strong preference for unrestricted competition, with 100% of her awards issued under the No Set-Aside category. This indicates a focus on technical superiority and mission-critical performance over socioeconomic set-asides, though she remains open to small business participation when vendors demonstrate requisite capabilities in niche technical domains. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334511 for aeronautical and navigation system manufacturing, complemented by significant engagement in engineering services under 541330. She frequently procures high-performance sensors, RF signal processing units, and battlefield analytics software, demonstrating specialized expertise in systems that enable real-time situational awareness and networked command and control for expeditionary forces.
