Kristin Krieg

Kristin Krieg serves as a key procurement professional within the W6QK Acc Wva unit of the Department of the Army, supporting the mission-critical modernization and sustainment of U.S. Army ordnance systems at Watervliet Arsenal. She manages acquisitions for high-precision industrial equipment, machine tool components, and specialized manufacturing systems essential to artillery and munitions production. Her work ensures the continued operational readiness of legacy and next-generation ordnance infrastructure by overseeing the procurement of custom-fabricated metal parts, industrial furnaces, and precision machining services. Krieg operates within a highly technical acquisition environment requiring deep familiarity with defense industrial base capabilities and Federal Acquisition Regulation compliance. She maintains strategic relationships with a select group of specialized contractors, including FinCantieri Marine Repair LLC, McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, and RDC JPA Architecture, L.L.L.P., reflecting a focus on industrial maintenance, facility upgrades, and precision manufacturing services. Her contracting patterns favor long-term, mission-aligned partnerships with firms possessing niche expertise in metal fabrication, machine tool repair, and industrial process equipment. These relationships are characterized by technical collaboration and repeat engagement, underscoring the specialized nature of the Arsenal’s operational requirements. Krieg demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with approximately two-thirds of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to cultivate capacity within the defense industrial base by prioritizing small, qualified vendors capable of delivering custom metalworking, machining, and industrial equipment services. Her socioeconomic contracting approach supports broad-based small business growth while ensuring technical fidelity to Army ordnance standards. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 333515 (cutting tool and machine tool accessory manufacturing), 332710 (machine shops), 331110 (iron and steel mills), and 333517 (machine tool manufacturing), with additional emphasis on 333994 (industrial process furnace manufacturing). She procures high-tolerance metal components, CNC machining services, heat-treatment systems, and custom industrial equipment critical to maintaining the Army’s munitions production infrastructure.
