Kristin Kronfeld

Kristin Kronfeld serves as a key procurement lead within the W6QK Acc-ri office of the Department of the Army, responsible for managing acquisitions that sustain and modernize the Army’s industrial base for ordnance, precision components, and battlefield support systems. She oversees the full lifecycle procurement of fabricated metal products, machine tools, and maintenance services critical to weapons systems and ammunition production. Her work ensures operational readiness by aligning contracting strategies with the Army’s industrial modernization priorities, emphasizing reliability, quality control, and supply chain resilience for mission-critical defense infrastructure. Kronfeld maintains consistent partnerships with a core group of specialized contractors, including AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, FAXON MACHINING, LLC, PALANTIR USG INC, and Allied Metal Tech, LLC. These relationships reflect a focus on high-precision manufacturing, digital logistics integration, and metal fabrication capabilities essential to Army ordnance systems. Her contracting approach prioritizes long-term vendor collaboration, technical compliance, and performance-based outcomes, fostering trusted partnerships with firms possessing the niche expertise required for defense-grade production and maintenance. Her procurement portfolio is exclusively structured under Total Small Business Set-Aside authority (FAR 19.5), demonstrating an unwavering commitment to small business participation across all solicitations. Every acquisition is reserved for small businesses, ensuring equitable access to defense contracting opportunities and reinforcing the Army’s socioeconomic goals. This pattern reflects a deliberate strategy to cultivate a resilient, diverse supplier base capable of meeting stringent military specifications. Kronfeld’s primary procurement focus is centered on NAICS 321113 (Sawmills), which, within this context, encompasses precision metal fabrication, machining of ordnance components, and production of specialized metal parts for weapons systems. Her expertise lies in sourcing technically complex, defense-certified metal products that meet MIL-SPEC standards, requiring deep familiarity with metallurgy, tolerancing, and quality assurance protocols critical to battlefield equipment durability and safety.
