Kyle Frank

Kyle Frank serves as a secondary procurement liaison within the W6QK Acc-pica organization under the Department of the Army, supporting the acquisition of critical defense manufacturing and operational support systems essential to military readiness. While not a primary contracting officer, he plays a vital role in facilitating contract execution, vendor coordination, and technical requirements alignment for munitions production and installation infrastructure programs. His work directly enables the agency’s mission to sustain combat systems and ensure reliable logistics and ammunition supply chains, with a focus on high-stakes, mission-critical procurements requiring strict compliance with defense acquisition regulations. Frank maintains consistent working relationships with key defense industrial base contractors including Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, General Dynamics OTS (Wilkes-Barre), LLC, and The Lockwood Group LLC, among others. These partnerships center on complex manufacturing, logistics support, and technical services for ammunition systems and facility maintenance. His engagement pattern reflects a preference for established, qualified prime contractors with proven track records in defense manufacturing and integrated logistics, ensuring mission continuity and technical fidelity across long-term program lifecycles. Frank’s procurement activities exhibit no set-aside preferences, with 100% of acquisitions awarded under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on leveraging industrial capacity and technical expertise from the largest, most capable defense contractors rather than socioeconomic set-asides, aligning with the agency’s priority to rapidly scale production and maintain operational tempo. His primary industry focus lies in NAICS 332993 (Ammunition Manufacturing), accounting for 75% of his portfolio, with secondary activity in NAICS 488490 (Other Support Activities for Road Transportation). He specializes in procuring medium- and large-caliber ammunition, propellant systems, and associated transport and handling infrastructure, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with military ordnance production, explosive safety protocols, and defense logistics networks.
