Lana Graw

Lana Graw serves as a secondary procurement specialist within the W6QK Acc-ri organization under the Department of the Army, supporting the acquisition of critical ordnance and battlefield support systems essential to Army readiness. She plays a key role in executing contracts for munitions manufacturing, precision metal fabrication, and maintenance services that sustain the industrial base for weapons systems and ammunition production. Her responsibilities include coordinating contract actions aligned with strategic modernization priorities, ensuring compliance with defense acquisition regulations, and facilitating timely delivery of mission-critical components to field units. Graw maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized contractors, including AMD International Technologies LLC, Faxon Machining, LLC, Palantir USG Inc., and Allied Metal Tech, LLC. These partnerships reflect a focus on high-precision machining, defense-grade fabrication, and software-enabled logistics solutions. Her procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration with firms possessing specialized capabilities in military-grade manufacturing and secure data integration, often requiring ITAR compliance and quality certifications such as AS9100 and ISO 9001. A strong advocate for small business participation, Graw consistently prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, with over 55% of her acquisitions reserved for small businesses. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster capability development within the defense industrial base, leveraging socioeconomic programs to enhance competition and innovation among qualified small manufacturers. Her contracting patterns demonstrate a deliberate alignment with Army objectives to broaden supplier diversity and strengthen resilience in critical supply chains. Her technical focus is overwhelmingly centered on NAICS 332993 (Ammunition Manufacturing, except Small Arms) and 332992 (Small Arms Ammunition Manufacturing), indicating deep expertise in high-explosive ordnance, propellant systems, and precision munition components. She routinely procures fabricated metal products, machine tools, and assembly services critical to ammunition production lines and battlefield equipment sustainment, demonstrating specialized knowledge in defense manufacturing standards and explosive safety protocols.
