LaNita McGraw-Holloway

LaNita McGraw-Holloway serves as a key procurement professional within the W6QK Acc-rsa under the Department of the Army, responsible for managing complex acquisitions that sustain and modernize the U.S. Army’s aerial and missile defense systems. She oversees the acquisition of mission-critical aerospace platforms, avionics, propulsion components, and sensor systems supporting key programs such as the UH-60 Black Hawk and AH-64 Apache. Her role centers on ensuring operational readiness through timely, compliant, and technically sound contracting actions that align with the Army’s strategic modernization priorities in rotary-wing and air defense capabilities. She maintains long-standing, high-trust relationships with prime contractors including Lockheed Martin Corporation and Alaska Aerospace Corp, partnering with industry leaders experienced in integrated aerospace systems development, flight control upgrades, and mission-specific payload integration. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based requirements, technical risk mitigation, and lifecycle support, often involving design-to-cost and systems engineering services. These partnerships reflect a focus on established defense industrial base vendors with proven capabilities in advanced manufacturing and defense-grade quality assurance. McGraw-Holloway’s portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a deliberate procurement strategy prioritizing technical superiority, scalability, and rapid fielding over socioeconomic set-asides, aligning with the high-stakes, time-sensitive nature of aerial defense modernization. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in her portfolio, she ensures all solicitations are structured to permit meaningful small business subcontracting opportunities in alignment with FAR Part 19 guidelines. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336411 (Aircraft Manufacturing) and 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), with additional emphasis on 334511 for radar, guidance, and navigation systems. She specializes in procuring flight-critical hardware, integrated avionics suites, propulsion subsystems, and mission computer upgrades, demonstrating deep technical fluency in military aerospace engineering standards and DoD acquisition frameworks.
