Margaret Heyrich

Margaret Heyrich serves as a key procurement professional within the W6QK Acc-pica office of the Department of the Army, supporting the agency’s mission to sustain combat readiness through the acquisition of defense manufacturing, ammunition systems, and critical infrastructure services. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on ordnance production, military facility maintenance, and engineering support, ensuring the timely delivery of mission-critical capabilities to deployed forces. Her work directly enables the modernization of ammunition supply chains and the operational resilience of Army installations, aligning acquisitions with strategic defense priorities and force projection requirements. Heyrich maintains consistent partnerships with leading defense contractors including NORTHROP GRUMMAN SYSTEMS CORPORATION, GENERAL DYNAMICS OTS (WILKES BARRE), LLC, and PIONEERING DECISIVE SOLUTIONS INC, among others. These relationships are characterized by long-term, performance-based contracting approaches, often involving complex technical specifications for ordnance manufacturing and industrial maintenance. She collaborates with both prime contractors and specialized subcontractors to ensure supply chain integrity and technical compliance across high-sensitivity defense programs. Her procurement strategy reflects a balanced approach to socioeconomic goals, with approximately one-third of awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to small business participation. While the majority of acquisitions remain open to all competitors, she actively prioritizes qualified small businesses with expertise in metal fabrication, ordnance production, and industrial repair services, fostering a diverse vendor base aligned with national defense needs. Heyrich’s technical focus centers on NAICS 332994 (Small Arms and Ordnance Manufacturing) and 332993 (Ammunition Manufacturing), with significant activity in engineering services (541330) and industrial maintenance (811310). She specializes in procuring precision-fabricated munitions components, specialized ordnance accessories, and maintenance services for military-grade machinery, requiring deep familiarity with MIL-SPEC standards, quality assurance protocols, and defense logistics frameworks.
