Nicholas Randazzo

Nicholas Randazzo serves as a key procurement lead within the W6QK Acc-ri, a critical unit of the Department of the Army responsible for sustaining and modernizing the U.S. Army’s industrial base for munitions and battlefield support systems. He manages the acquisition of precision machine tools, cutting tool accessories, fabricated metal components, and related maintenance services essential to ordnance production and weapons system lifecycle support. His work directly enables operational readiness by ensuring reliable access to mission-critical manufacturing infrastructure and high-tolerance fabricated parts, aligning closely with the Army’s strategic priorities in industrial base resilience and technological modernization. Randazzo maintains consistent contracting relationships with specialized manufacturers including AMD International Technologies LLC, Faxon Machining, LLC, Allied Metal Tech, LLC, and Palantir USG Inc., each recognized for expertise in precision machining, tooling, and defense-grade fabrication. His procurement patterns reflect a preference for long-term, technically rigorous vendor partnerships that deliver high-precision components under strict military specifications. These contractors are selected for their ability to meet stringent quality control standards, maintain secure supply chains, and support just-in-time delivery for time-sensitive maintenance and production cycles. All of Randazzo’s acquisitions are structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting an unwavering commitment to fostering small business participation across the defense industrial base. He actively prioritizes small manufacturers with proven capabilities in metalworking and machine tool accessory production, ensuring that niche, high-skill vendors have equitable access to Army contracts. This approach strengthens regional industrial capacity and promotes innovation through decentralized manufacturing networks. His procurement focus is exclusively centered on NAICS 333515—Cutting Tool and Machine Tool Accessory Manufacturing—encompassing the acquisition of custom milling tools, CNC fixtures, precision dies, and specialized machine components used in ammunition production and weapon system assembly. This deep technical specialization underscores his expertise in high-precision manufacturing ecosystems critical to Army modernization efforts.
