Michael R. Tully

Michael R. Tully serves as a Contracting Officer within the W6QK Acc-pica organization under the Department of the Army, where he plays a pivotal role in executing strategic acquisitions that sustain military readiness and force projection. He manages a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on defense manufacturing support, facility services, and operational logistics systems, ensuring the reliability of ammunition supply chains and installation infrastructure. His work directly supports the Army’s modernization priorities by facilitating timely procurement of mission-critical systems through full and open competition and targeted set-asides, adhering to FAR and DFARS compliance standards. Tully maintains established relationships with key defense and support contractors, including NORTHROP GRUMMAN SYSTEMS CORPORATION, GENERAL DYNAMICS OTS (WILKES BARRE), LLC, and PIONEERING DECISIVE SOLUTIONS INC, among others. These partnerships span high-capacity manufacturing, technical services, and specialized logistics support, reflecting a balanced mix of large prime contractors and niche providers with deep domain expertise. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, risk mitigation, and long-term vendor collaboration to ensure operational continuity and mission success. A strong advocate for small business participation, Tully consistently prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, with over two-thirds of his awards designated for small businesses. This reflects a deliberate socioeconomic strategy to foster competition, enhance innovation, and build capacity within the defense industrial base. While no set-aside remains a significant component of his portfolio, his pattern demonstrates a structured commitment to inclusive contracting without compromising mission requirements. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 488490 (Other Support Activities for Road Transportation), 561210 (Facilities Support Services), and 721110 (Hotels and Motels), indicating a unique blend of transportation logistics, base infrastructure support, and temporary lodging services essential to garrison readiness.
