Mariah Ross

Mariah Ross serves as a key procurement professional within the W6QK Acc-ri unit of the Department of the Army, responsible for managing acquisitions that sustain and modernize the Army’s industrial base for ordnance, precision-machined components, and battlefield support systems. Her work directly supports the lifecycle readiness of weapons systems and ammunition production facilities, with a primary focus on computer facilities management services under NAICS 541513. She oversees the full acquisition lifecycle—from market research and solicitation to contract award and performance monitoring—ensuring alignment with Army modernization priorities and industrial base resilience goals. Ross maintains strategic relationships with a core group of specialized contractors, including AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, FAXON MACHINING, LLC, PALANTIR USG INC, and Allied Metal Tech, LLC, each providing critical capabilities in defense-grade computing infrastructure, precision machining, and mission-critical software platforms. Her contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships built on technical reliability, compliance with defense standards, and proven performance in secure, regulated environments. Her procurement portfolio reflects a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with approximately half of her awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate emphasis on expanding opportunities for small, qualified vendors. The remaining half are open competitions, ensuring competitive rigor while maintaining flexibility for specialized requirements. This dual-track approach underscores her dedication to both small business inclusion and mission-critical capability acquisition. Ross’s technical domain is narrowly focused on computer facilities management services, encompassing data center operations, secure IT infrastructure support, and maintenance of mission-critical computing environments for munitions and precision component production systems. Her expertise lies in procuring services that ensure the uninterrupted operation of industrial control systems and digital logistics platforms essential to Army ordnance readiness.
