Leanne Veary

Leanne Veary serves as a key procurement lead within the W6QK Acc-ri office of the Department of the Army, responsible for managing the acquisition of critical industrial base capabilities essential to munitions production and battlefield support systems. Her role centers on securing precision-manufactured components, machine tools, and fabricated metal products that sustain the lifecycle of weapons systems and ordnance infrastructure. She oversees full-spectrum contracting activities—from market research and solicitation development to award and contract administration—ensuring alignment with Army modernization priorities and industrial readiness goals. Her acquisitions directly enable the maintenance and expansion of the Army’s munitions industrial base. Veary maintains long-standing relationships with a core group of specialized industrial contractors, including AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, FAXON MACHINING, LLC, PALANTIR USG INC, and Allied Metal Tech, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in high-tolerance machining, defense-grade fabrication, and mission-critical software integration for ordnance systems. Her contracting patterns emphasize technical reliability and supply chain resilience over volume, favoring established contractors with demonstrated capability in defense manufacturing environments and compliance with MIL-SPEC and ITAR requirements. Veary’s procurement portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on accessing the broadest possible pool of qualified industrial suppliers capable of meeting stringent military performance standards, rather than prioritizing socioeconomic categories. While small business participation is not formally targeted, all vendors must meet rigorous technical and quality assurance benchmarks regardless of size. Her primary focus is on NAICS 336510 (Railroad Rolling Stock Manufacturing), a classification uniquely leveraged to procure specialized heavy fabrication, precision metal forming, and armored component systems critical to military logistics and munitions handling infrastructure. Despite the NAICS code’s civilian association, Veary’s work involves adapting these manufacturing capabilities for armored vehicle parts, ammunition transport systems, and industrial-scale ordnance handling equipment—demonstrating deep technical fluency in defense-industrial hybrid procurement.
