Nicolina Kocinski

Nicolina Kocinski 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 essential to modernizing Army tactical forces. She manages complex contracting actions for armored vehicles, small arms, and integrated ordnance systems, ensuring timely delivery of mission-critical equipment that enhances soldier lethality, survivability, and battlefield mobility. Her work directly supports the agency’s strategic focus on rapid prototyping and fielding of next-generation combat platforms, requiring deep familiarity with defense acquisition regulations and technical specifications for military-grade hardware. Kocinski maintains consistent contracting relationships with a select group of 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 preference for established defense industrial base vendors with proven capabilities in mechanical systems integration, maintenance support, and specialized manufacturing. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and technical compliance, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in reliability and mission alignment. She exhibits a strict commitment to small business participation, with 100% of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to cultivate capacity within the small business industrial base, ensuring equitable access to defense contracting opportunities for firms capable of supporting complex maintenance, repair, and technical services for military equipment. Her procurement focus is exclusively centered on NAICS 811310—Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment (except Automotive and Electronic) Repair and Maintenance—demonstrating specialized expertise in sustaining and modernizing armored vehicle systems, ordnance support infrastructure, and related mechanical assemblies. Her work ensures the longevity and operational readiness of Army tactical platforms through targeted maintenance, overhaul, and component-level repair services.
