Kristen Rounsaville

Kristen Rounsaville serves as a key procurement professional within the W6QK Acc-pica organization under the Department of the Army, responsible for managing complex acquisitions that sustain military readiness through defense manufacturing, engineering services, and operational logistics support. She plays a critical role in executing the agency’s mission to modernize ammunition production, maintain installation infrastructure, and ensure reliable force projection by overseeing contracts for mission-critical systems and technical services. Her portfolio primarily includes engineering solutions, explosives and ammunition manufacturing, and electronic systems procurement, aligning closely with the Army’s strategic priorities in modernizing munitions supply chains and enhancing combat system sustainment. Rounsaville maintains longstanding relationships with major defense contractors including NORTHROP GRUMMAN SYSTEMS CORPORATION, GENERAL DYNAMICS OTS (WILKES BARRE), LLC, and PIONEERING DECISIVE SOLUTIONS INC, as well as specialized firms such as BIGELOW FAMILY HOLDINGS LLC and WISENGINEERING LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established industry leaders with proven capabilities in high-stakes defense manufacturing and technical engineering, while also incorporating agile small business providers to support niche requirements and rapid prototyping. Her contracting patterns show a strong emphasis on open competition, with 75% of awards issued without set-asides, reflecting a focus on technical capability and mission urgency. However, she consistently allocates 25% of opportunities to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a balanced commitment to fostering innovation through small business participation without compromising mission-critical performance standards. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services) and 332993 (Ammunition Manufacturing), with significant activity in explosives manufacturing (325920) and electronic computer systems (334111). This technical specialization underscores her expertise in acquiring advanced defense systems, precision munitions, and supporting infrastructure essential to Army modernization and operational continuity.
