Michael Kline

Michael Kline serves as a key procurement professional within the W6QK Acc-pica, a Department of the Army organization responsible for sustaining critical defense manufacturing and operational support systems. He manages complex acquisitions aligned with the agency’s mission to modernize ammunition production, maintain installation infrastructure, and ensure reliable logistics for combat systems. His portfolio centers on high-stakes defense manufacturing and technical services, with a focus on precision measuring devices, ordnance components, and specialized facility support systems essential to force readiness and munitions supply chain resilience. Kline maintains consistent contracting relationships with leading defense contractors including NORTHROP GRUMMAN SYSTEMS CORPORATION, GENERAL DYNAMICS OTS (WILKES BARRE), LLC, and THE LOCKWOOD GROUP LLC, alongside technical services providers such as LOGISYS TECHNICAL SERVICES INC and PROGSIT LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established industry primes with proven capabilities in defense manufacturing, ordnance assembly, and mission-critical support services. His contracting approach emphasizes performance reliability, technical compliance, and supply chain continuity, often leveraging long-term contract vehicles to ensure operational stability. While the majority of his acquisitions—72.2%—are conducted without set-asides, Kline demonstrates a meaningful commitment to small business participation, with 27.8% of awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a strategic balance between leveraging industrial base capacity and fostering innovation through qualified small business vendors, though no specific socioeconomic categories like 8(a) or HUBZone are dominant in his portfolio. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334519 (Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing), 332993 (Ammunition Manufacturing), and 332994 (Small Arms and Ordnance Accessories Manufacturing). He specializes in procuring precision instrumentation, explosive ordnance components, and specialized military-grade manufacturing systems, demonstrating deep technical expertise in defense production and ordnance lifecycle support.
