Lori A. Cahill

Lori A. Cahill serves as a key procurement professional within the W6QK Acc-pica organization under the Department of the Army, supporting the acquisition of critical defense manufacturing, facility services, and operational logistics systems essential to military readiness. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on sustaining combat systems, modernizing ammunition production infrastructure, and maintaining installation capabilities. Her work directly enables force projection through reliable supply chains and mission-critical support services, aligning with the agency’s strategic priorities in defense industrial base resilience and base-wide operational continuity. Cahill maintains consistent contracting relationships with major 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 partnerships reflect a balanced approach to leveraging large prime contractors for complex systems integration while engaging specialized firms for niche technical and facility support services. Her contracting patterns indicate a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in defense manufacturing, maintenance, and logistics execution. While the majority of her acquisitions are conducted as open competitions (62.5%), Cahill demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 37.5% of awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. Her socioeconomic contracting strategy prioritizes broad small business engagement without reliance on specific set-aside programs like 8(a) or HUBZone, reflecting a focus on capability-driven competition among qualified small entities. Her primary NAICS focus areas include 541720 (Research and Development in the Social Sciences and Humanities), indicating significant investment in human factors, training systems, and operational analysis; 721110 (Hotels and Motels), reflecting lodging support for transient military personnel; and 561730, 238160, and 238220, underscoring her oversight of facility maintenance, roofing, and HVAC services critical to installation readiness. This blend of technical, logistical, and infrastructure procurement highlights her expertise in sustaining both combat and garrison environments.
