Michael J. Duffy serves as a Contract Specialist within the W6QK Acc-pica organization under the Department of the Army, where he plays a pivotal role in executing complex defense acquisitions that sustain military readiness and modernize critical combat systems. His responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of contracts for research and development, communications equipment manufacturing, and operational support services essential to ammunition production and installation infrastructure.
