Lois McFadden

Lois McFadden serves as a key procurement lead within the W6QK Acc-pica, a critical acquisition unit under the Department of the Army responsible for sustaining military readiness through logistics, infrastructure, and munitions support. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on defense manufacturing, facility services, and operational support systems, with particular emphasis on maintaining installation infrastructure and enabling force projection through reliable supply chains. Her work directly supports the modernization of ammunition production capabilities and the continuity of base-wide operations, ensuring that mission-critical systems remain fully functional and compliant with DoD standards. McFadden maintains longstanding partnerships with leading defense contractors including NORTHROP GRUMMAN SYSTEMS CORPORATION, GENERAL DYNAMICS OTS (WILKES BARRE), LLC, and THE LOCKWOOD GROUP LLC, alongside technical services providers such as LOGISYS TECHNICAL SERVICES INC and PROGSIT LLC. These relationships reflect a balanced approach to sourcing, combining large prime contractors with specialized niche vendors to meet complex technical and operational requirements across munitions handling, facility maintenance, and environmental services. Her procurement strategy demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 66.7% of awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, prioritizing socioeconomic programs to foster vendor diversity and resilience in the defense industrial base. This pattern underscores her dedication to expanding opportunities for small, disadvantaged, and service-disabled veteran-owned firms within high-stakes military support sectors. McFadden’s primary NAICS focus centers on Solid Waste Collection (562111) and Septic Tank and Related Services (562991), reflecting the agency’s operational need for environmental compliance and installation sustainability, alongside specialized procurement in Explosives Manufacturing (325920). Her expertise lies at the intersection of environmental services and defense logistics, ensuring that base operations meet both regulatory and combat readiness standards through technically precise, compliant contracting.
