Lynette Perez

Lynette Perez serves as a key procurement professional within the W6QK Acc-apg organization under the Department of the Army, supporting the development and fielding of next-generation intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance systems. She manages acquisitions for advanced aeronautical instrumentation, radio frequency platforms, and battlefield data analytics systems, ensuring alignment with the Army’s modernization priorities in tactical communications and real-time sensor fusion. Her role centers on executing full lifecycle contracting for complex technical solutions, from solicitation through award and performance oversight, with a focus on rapid capability insertion and interoperability across multi-domain operations. Perez collaborates with a diverse ecosystem of defense contractors and technical service providers, primarily engaging firms specializing in electronic component manufacturing, systems design, and data infrastructure services. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently works with mid-tier and emerging technology vendors capable of delivering ruggedized hardware, algorithm-driven analytics, and secure computing environments tailored to expeditionary environments. Her contracting approach emphasizes agile acquisition pathways and performance-based outcomes, fostering partnerships with vendors who can rapidly prototype and scale solutions under evolving operational requirements. Her procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 85.7% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions, yet she maintains a meaningful commitment to small business participation, allocating 14.3% of opportunities to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This balanced approach ensures access to innovative capabilities while sustaining a competitive supplier base that includes technically proficient small firms capable of meeting stringent military specifications. Perez’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334419 (other electronic component manufacturing) and 541512 (computer systems design services), reflecting her specialization in custom RF modules, embedded signal processing hardware, and mission-critical software architectures. She also frequently procures technical consulting services under 541690 and computing infrastructure under 518210, underscoring her expertise in end-to-end battlefield data systems—from sensor-to-shooter integration to edge computing and secure cloud-enabled analytics.
