Melissa Sena

Melissa Sena serves as a key procurement professional within the W6QK Acc-pica organization under the Department of the Army, responsible for managing complex acquisitions that sustain military readiness through defense manufacturing and operational support systems. She oversees the full lifecycle of contracts for ammunition production, explosives manufacturing, and facility maintenance services critical to combat system sustainment and force projection. Her work directly supports the agency’s strategic priorities in modernizing munitions infrastructure and ensuring reliable logistics pipelines for active-duty forces. Sena handles high-stakes, technically demanding procurements requiring strict compliance with defense standards and supply chain resilience protocols. She maintains longstanding relationships with prime contractors including NORTHROP GRUMMAN SYSTEMS CORPORATION, GENERAL DYNAMICS OTS (WILKES BARRE), LLC, and THE LOCKWOOD GROUP LLC, all of which provide specialized manufacturing and technical services for defense applications. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established industry partners with proven capabilities in explosives handling, precision munitions assembly, and military facility operations. These partnerships are characterized by long-term performance reliability, technical interoperability, and adherence to stringent DoD quality assurance frameworks. Sena’s procurement portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on leveraging maximum industry capacity and technical expertise rather than socioeconomic set-asides. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB designations, her approach ensures competitive rigor and broad market engagement across the defense industrial base. Her primary focus lies in NAICS 332993 (Ammunition Manufacturing) and 325920 (Explosives Manufacturing), with additional activity in facility services under 811219. She specializes in procuring high-explosive ordnance, propellant systems, and installation support services essential to ammunition depots and military training ranges. Her technical expertise spans ordnance safety protocols, defense production line modernization, and hazardous material logistics, making her a critical liaison between operational requirements and industrial capability.
