Lori Morrow

Lori Morrow serves as a key procurement lead within the W6QK Acc-ri unit of the Department of the Army, supporting the sustainment and modernization of the Army’s industrial base for munitions, precision components, and battlefield support systems. She manages complex acquisitions for computer systems design and related technical services critical to ordnance production, weapons lifecycle support, and automated manufacturing systems. Her work ensures the Army’s industrial facilities maintain operational readiness through the integration of advanced digital tools, data analytics platforms, and mission-critical software solutions. Morrow’s portfolio is centered on enabling seamless interoperability between legacy and next-generation production systems, requiring deep technical understanding of defense industrial infrastructure. She maintains consistent working relationships with core contractors including AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, FAXON MACHINING, LLC, PALANTIR USG INC, and Allied Metal Tech, LLC—firms recognized for their expertise in defense-grade software architecture, precision machining, and systems integration. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in secure, compliant IT environments and industrial automation, often requiring ITAR and DFARS compliance. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and long-term technical sustainment over transactional procurement. Morrow’s acquisition strategy prioritizes open competition, with 75% of contracts issued without set-asides, yet she maintains a strong commitment to small business participation, allocating 25% of awards to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. While she does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her consistent use of small business set-asides demonstrates a deliberate effort to foster innovation and capacity within the defense industrial base. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services) and 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), reflecting expertise in procuring custom software development, simulation modeling, predictive maintenance systems, and digital twin technologies for munitions production lines and machine tool control systems. She specializes in acquiring IT services that directly enable automated manufacturing, quality assurance analytics, and real-time production monitoring across Army-owned industrial facilities.
