Michael E. Zanowicz

Michael E. Zanowicz serves as a key procurement professional within the W6QK Acc-pica, a critical acquisition unit of the Department of the Army under the W15QKN agency code. He manages a diverse portfolio of contracts essential to sustaining military readiness, focusing on defense manufacturing, facility support services, and operational infrastructure maintenance. His responsibilities include planning, soliciting, and awarding contracts that ensure the reliability of combat systems, ammunition production capabilities, and base-wide logistical support. Zanowicz routinely handles complex acquisitions under FAR Part 15, often involving performance-based service contracts and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles to meet dynamic force projection requirements. He maintains established working relationships with major defense contractors including NORTHROP GRUMMAN SYSTEMS CORPORATION, GENERAL DYNAMICS OTS (WILKES BARRE), LLC, and THE LOCKWOOD GROUP LLC, alongside specialized service providers such as LOGISYS TECHNICAL SERVICES INC and PROGSIT LLC. These partnerships reflect a balanced approach between large prime contractors with proven industrial capacity and mid-tier firms capable of delivering niche technical and logistical support. Zanowicz’s contracting patterns emphasize long-term operational continuity, with a preference for repeat performers who demonstrate technical proficiency and performance reliability. While 60% of his awards are conducted without set-asides, he actively supports socioeconomic programs, with 26.7% of contracts awarded through the 8(a) Business Development Program and 13.3% through total small business set-asides. This reflects a deliberate strategy to integrate capable small businesses into the defense supply chain while maintaining mission-critical performance standards. His procurement focus centers on NAICS 561210 (Facilities Support Services) and 327991 (Cut Stone and Stone Product Manufacturing), with additional emphasis on motor and generator manufacturing, landscaping, and septic system services. This unique blend underscores his expertise in sustaining both hardened military installations and mission-critical production environments, requiring deep technical knowledge across civil engineering and defense manufacturing domains.
