Lacey N. Hocutt

Lacey N. Hocutt serves as a key procurement professional within the W6QK Acc-pica organization under the Department of the Army, supporting the acquisition of critical logistics, facility, and operational support services essential to military readiness. Responsible for managing complex contracting actions aligned with the agency’s mission to sustain combat systems and ensure base-wide operational continuity, Hocutt specializes in the procurement of installation services, munitions supply chain infrastructure, and defense-related support systems. Their work directly enables force projection by securing reliable, mission-critical capabilities through compliant, transparent contracting processes that adhere to Department of Defense acquisition regulations. Hocutt maintains consistent working relationships with major defense contractors including NORTHROP GRUMMAN SYSTEMS CORPORATION, GENERAL DYNAMICS OTS (WILKES BARRE), LLC, and THE LOCKWOOD GROUP LLC, alongside specialized service providers such as LOGISYS TECHNICAL SERVICES INC and PROGSIT LLC. These partnerships reflect a balanced approach to acquiring high-capacity industrial services and niche technical support, often involving long-term, performance-based contracts for facility maintenance, logistics modernization, and munitions production support. The working relationships demonstrate a preference for established industry partners with proven track records in defense environments. A strong commitment to small business participation is evident in Hocutt’s contracting patterns, with 66.7% of awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster economic opportunity within the defense industrial base by prioritizing small businesses across multiple socioeconomic categories, including 8(a), HUBZone, and SDVOSB firms, while maintaining compliance with federal socioeconomic objectives. Despite the agency’s defense mission, Hocutt’s procurement portfolio is exclusively focused on NAICS 721110 — Hotels (except Casino Hotels) and Motels — indicating a specialized and highly unusual alignment with lodging and transient housing services for military personnel, contractors, and visiting personnel at installations. This unique focus underscores expertise in managing non-traditional defense acquisitions with stringent operational and regulatory requirements.
