Lindsay Decker

Lindsay Decker serves as Procurement Liaison for the W6QK Acc-apg Adelphi under the Department of the Army, where she facilitates the acquisition of mission-critical scientific and engineering capabilities essential to advanced defense research. Her role centers on managing the end-to-end procurement lifecycle for high-precision laboratory instrumentation, electronic measurement systems, and secure computing infrastructure, ensuring alignment with Army R&D priorities in physical and engineering sciences. She collaborates closely with technical stakeholders to translate complex scientific requirements into compliant, performance-based solicitations, bridging the gap between research objectives and contractual execution. Decker maintains strategic relationships with a select group of specialized vendors, including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC for facility support, PHYSICAL ELECTRONICS USA, INC. for advanced analytical instrumentation, JAXON ENGINEERING AND MAINTENANCE LLC for maintenance and calibration services, AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC for secure data systems, and ILLUMINA, INC. for next-generation genomic analysis platforms. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with deep technical expertise, proven performance in defense-critical environments, and the ability to support rapid deployment and sustainment of sophisticated equipment. Her procurement activity is exclusively conducted under open, non-set-aside competitions, with no preference for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic programs. This reflects the agency’s operational imperative to prioritize technical capability and mission readiness over socioeconomic targeting, ensuring access to the most qualified suppliers in highly specialized domains. Decker’s procurement focus is dominated by NAICS 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing), accounting for 75% of her portfolio, with additional emphasis on NAICS 541715 (Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences). She routinely procures mass spectrometers, spectroscopic analyzers, cryogenic systems, high-resolution imaging platforms, and secure server infrastructure—tools fundamental to cutting-edge defense science and engineering innovation.
