Kimberlee Gravert

Kimberlee Gravert supports the procurement mission of the W6QK Acc-ri under the Department of the Army, ensuring the reliable acquisition of critical industrial base capabilities essential to munitions production, precision component manufacturing, and battlefield equipment sustainment. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts for ordnance-related systems, machine tools, fabricated metal products, and analytical instrumentation, aligning acquisitions with the Army’s strategic priorities in modernization and readiness. Her work directly enables the lifecycle support of weapons systems and ammunition production infrastructure, requiring deep technical understanding of manufacturing processes and industrial supply chains. Gravert maintains established relationships with key contractors including AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, FAXON MACHINING, LLC, PALANTIR USG INC, and Allied Metal Tech, LLC, reflecting a preference for specialized industrial vendors with proven capabilities in precision machining, metal fabrication, and defense-grade software integration. Her contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in technical reliability, quality assurance compliance, and defense industrial base resilience, often engaging firms with DoD clearance and AS9100 certification. She exhibits a strong commitment to small business participation, with 35% of her acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating consistent support for small manufacturers and technical service providers. While no set-aside preferences dominate, her portfolio reflects deliberate inclusion of small businesses capable of delivering niche industrial goods and mission-critical support services. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334516 (analytical laboratory instruments), 334513 (industrial process control instruments), 331420 (copper alloy manufacturing), 323111 (commercial printing), and 332722 (fastener manufacturing). These reflect expertise in procuring precision-engineered components, metallurgical products, and specialized instrumentation critical to ordnance testing, weapons assembly, and field equipment maintenance.
