Mr. Corey Schaefer

Mr. Corey Schaefer serves as a key procurement professional within the W6QK Acc-ri office of the Department of the Army, responsible for managing acquisitions that sustain and modernize the U.S. Army’s industrial base for ordnance, precision components, and battlefield support systems. He oversees the full lifecycle procurement of facilities support services, munitions manufacturing, and fabricated metal products essential to weapons system readiness and ammunition production. His portfolio centers on mission-critical contracts that ensure the reliability and scalability of Army logistics and manufacturing infrastructure, with a focus on long-term operational sustainability and technical compliance. Schaefer maintains consistent contracting relationships with core industrial partners including AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, FAXON MACHINING, LLC, PALANTIR USG INC, and Allied Metal Tech, LLC. These vendors provide specialized capabilities in precision machining, defense-grade fabrication, and mission-critical software integration for logistics and ordnance systems. His procurement patterns reflect a preference for established, high-reliability contractors with proven track records in defense manufacturing and facilities operations, indicating a risk-averse approach prioritizing mission continuity over frequent vendor rotation. Schaefer’s contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on technical capability and operational readiness over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with the agency’s urgent need for mission-critical deliverables without administrative constraints. While small business participation is not formally incentivized, the nature of the procurements still enables participation from niche industrial firms capable of meeting stringent defense specifications. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561210 (Facilities Support Services), encompassing maintenance, logistics, and industrial plant operations, supplemented by 332994 and 332993 for ordnance and ammunition manufacturing. Schaefer’s expertise centers on complex, regulated environments requiring compliance with MIL-SPEC standards, quality assurance protocols, and defense supply chain security requirements, making him a critical liaison between Army logistics command and its industrial base partners.
