Monika A. Okon

Monika A. Okon serves as a primary procurement lead within the W6QK Acc-pica organization under the Department of the Army, overseeing the acquisition of critical defense manufacturing and operational support systems essential to military readiness. Her role centers on managing end-to-end contracting cycles for ammunition production capabilities, facility services, and logistics infrastructure that sustain combat systems and enable force projection. She handles complex, high-stakes procurements requiring strict compliance with defense acquisition regulations, including performance-based contracting and technical specification validation for munitions-related systems. Her work directly supports the Army’s strategic imperative to modernize and secure the national ammunition supply chain. Okon maintains longstanding relationships with key defense industrial base partners, including NORTHROP GRUMMAN SYSTEMS CORPORATION, GENERAL DYNAMICS OTS (WILKES BARRE), LLC, PIONEERING DECISIVE SOLUTIONS INC, BIGELOW FAMILY HOLDINGS LLC, and WISENGINEERING LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established, cleared defense manufacturers with proven expertise in ammunition production, precision machining, and military-grade facility operations. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance accountability, supply chain resilience, and technical fidelity, often involving long-term base contracts and delivery order frameworks to ensure continuous operational support. All of Okon’s procurements are conducted under full and open competition, with no set-asides designated for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic categories—reflecting a 100% non-set-aside procurement pattern. This underscores a mission-critical focus on rapid capability delivery and industrial base capacity over socioeconomic preferences, prioritizing technical capability and production reliability above all else. Her primary NAICS focus is evenly split between 332993 (Ammunition, except Small Arms) and 332992 (Small Arms Ammunition Manufacturing), indicating deep specialization in explosive ordnance production, propellant formulation, casing assembly, and safety-compliant manufacturing processes. She routinely procures high-volume, high-precision munitions systems, specialized tooling, and facility maintenance services critical to sustaining the Army’s live-fire training and combat readiness posture.
