Monique SanPietro

Monique SanPietro serves as a Contract Specialist within the W6QK Acc-APG Cont Ct Wash Ofc under the Department of the Army, where she plays a pivotal role in acquiring advanced C5ISR technologies critical to land and expeditionary force readiness. She manages the full lifecycle of complex procurement actions, with a focus on research and development contracts for electro-optic/infrared sensor systems, precision navigation and guidance instruments, and ruggedized power generation solutions. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to enhance battlefield situational awareness through cutting-edge technical integration, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and timely delivery of mission-critical capabilities. SanPietro maintains a consistent working relationship with Cummins Power Generation Inc., a primary vendor for mission-critical power systems, and collaborates with a range of engineering and defense technology firms specializing in sensor development and ruggedized electronics. Her contracting approach emphasizes technical rigor, performance-based outcomes, and long-term vendor partnerships grounded in reliability and innovation. She engages primarily with established defense contractors possessing deep domain expertise in military-grade electro-optics and navigation systems, fostering collaborative procurement environments that prioritize technical compliance and operational readiness. Her procurement portfolio reflects a strong preference for unrestricted competitions, with 100% of her awards issued under no set-aside classifications. This indicates a strategic focus on maximizing technical capability and industry competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides, aligning with the high-performance demands of C5ISR programs. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her award patterns, her process remains transparent and competitive, open to all qualified vendors regardless of size or certification. Her primary NAICS focus lies in research and development for physical and engineering sciences (541712 and 541715), alongside specialized manufacturing of navigation and guidance systems (334511). She consistently procures advanced electro-optical sensors, inertial navigation units, and expeditionary power solutions engineered for harsh operational environments, demonstrating deep expertise in defense electronics, sensor fusion, and ruggedized system integration.
