Megan M Mokhtari

Megan M. Mokhtari serves as a Contract Specialist within the W6QK Acc-rsa unit of the Department of the Army, where she plays a pivotal role in executing complex acquisitions to sustain and modernize the U.S. Army’s aerial and missile defense capabilities. Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions for mission-critical aerospace systems, including guided missile components, avionics upgrades, and propulsion technologies supporting platforms such as the UH-60 Black Hawk and AH-64 Apache. She ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning contract strategies with the agency’s strategic priorities in defense modernization and technological resilience. Mokhtari collaborates with a diverse base of defense contractors specializing in aerospace engineering, missile system integration, and technical services. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with firms possessing DOD clearance, ITAR compliance, and proven expertise in defense-grade manufacturing and systems engineering. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, risk mitigation, and rigorous source selection processes to ensure mission readiness and technical reliability across high-stakes programs. Her procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 83.3% of acquisitions conducted without set-asides, demonstrating a focus on technical merit and capability over socioeconomic categorization. However, she actively supports small business participation, with 16.7% of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, ensuring opportunities for qualified small firms to contribute to critical defense missions. Mokhtari’s primary technical focus lies in NAICS 336414 (Guided Missile and Space Vehicle Manufacturing), followed by aircraft manufacturing (336411) and engineering services (541330). She routinely procures advanced sensor systems, flight control hardware, missile guidance modules, and specialized support services essential to maintaining air and missile defense superiority. Her domain expertise spans aerospace systems integration, defense electronics, and mission-critical logistics, positioning her as a key enabler of Army modernization initiatives.
