Natalie C. DeBoer

Natalie DeBoer serves as a key procurement professional within the U.S. Army Contracting Command – Detroit Arsenal (ACC-DTA), supporting the acquisition of critical ground combat systems and enabling technologies for Army modernization. She manages complex contracting actions for armored vehicles, small arms, ordnance systems, and integrated battlefield technologies, ensuring timely delivery of mission-critical capabilities to tactical forces. Her work directly supports the agency’s strategic priorities in rapid prototyping, survivability enhancements, and soldier lethality, aligning acquisitions with Army modernization roadmaps and operational readiness requirements. DeBoer maintains consistent contracting relationships with leading defense prime contractors including BAE Systems Land & Armaments L.P., Bay Ship & Yacht Co., Murtech, Inc., Japan Marine United Corporation, and Professional Contract Services, Inc. These partnerships reflect a focus on high-precision manufacturing, naval and land platform integration, and specialized engineering services. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, technical risk mitigation, and lifecycle support, often involving multi-year, complex solicitations requiring deep systems engineering expertise. Her contracting portfolio is overwhelmingly non-set-aside, with 89.3% of awards issued under full and open competition, indicating a preference for technical capability over socioeconomic preferences. However, she maintains a measurable commitment to small business participation, with 10.7% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating balanced adherence to both mission needs and statutory small business goals. DeBoer’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), reflecting extensive involvement in systems design, integration, and technical support for armored platforms and ordnance systems. She also regularly procures under NAICS 332994 for small arms and ordnance manufacturing, with limited activity in precision measurement devices and specialized medical equipment. Her domain expertise centers on defense systems engineering, survivability enhancements, and battlefield technology integration, positioning her at the nexus of operational requirement and industrial capability.
