Michael Samra

Michael Samra 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 combat readiness and enable force projection. His work centers on the acquisition of defense manufacturing systems, ordnance components, and critical installation support services essential to maintaining operational continuity across Army installations. He handles full lifecycle contracting for mission-critical hardware and logistics infrastructure, ensuring alignment with modernization goals for ammunition production and munitions supply chain resilience. His portfolio is highly technical, requiring deep familiarity with defense industrial base standards and military specification compliance. Samra maintains consistent, long-term relationships with leading defense contractors including Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, General Dynamics OTS (Wilkes-Barre), LLC, and Lockwood Group LLC, partnering with firms that possess specialized capabilities in ordnance manufacturing and metal fabrication. His contracting approach emphasizes proven performance, technical reliability, and industrial capacity, often leveraging indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) and fixed-price incentive structures to ensure scalable, responsive support. He collaborates closely with these prime contractors to integrate quality assurance protocols and supply chain traceability requirements into contract performance metrics. Samra’s procurement activity is exclusively conducted under open competition, with no set-asides applied to his portfolio, reflecting a strategic focus on mission-critical urgency and industrial base capacity over socioeconomic preferences. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in his award patterns, his contracting decisions are driven by technical necessity and production scalability rather than socioeconomic criteria. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 332994—Small Arms, Ordnance, and Ordnance Accessories Manufacturing—where he secures ammunition components, explosive ordnance handling systems, and related precision-fabricated metal products. He also procures specialized metal containers and fabricated metal components under NAICS 332439 and 332999, demonstrating expertise in high-integrity manufacturing for military environments. His domain knowledge spans ballistic materials, pyrotechnic systems, and defense-grade fabrication processes critical to sustaining frontline readiness.
