Kevin Puma

Kevin Puma serves as a key procurement lead within the W6QK Acc-pica organization under the Department of the Army, responsible for managing complex acquisitions that sustain combat readiness and force projection capabilities. He oversees contracts for defense manufacturing, ordnance systems, and technical support services critical to military logistics and installation infrastructure. His portfolio centers on ensuring the reliability of ammunition production lines, precision equipment maintenance, and scientific consulting services that inform modernization initiatives. Puma’s work directly supports the Army’s strategic imperative to modernize munitions supply chains and maintain operational continuity across domestic and deployed bases. He maintains consistent working relationships with leading defense contractors including Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, General Dynamics OTS (Wilkes-Barre), LLC, and Pioneering Decisive Solutions Inc., partnering with firms capable of delivering high-integrity ordnance systems, technical engineering solutions, and precision maintenance services. These relationships are characterized by long-term contract performance, technical compliance, and adherence to stringent military specifications.
