Olivia Knox

Olivia Knox serves as the primary procurement lead for the W6QK Acc-ri under the Department of the Army, responsible for managing the acquisition of critical ordnance, precision-machined components, and battlefield support systems essential to the Army’s industrial base modernization. She oversees end-to-end contracting for munitions manufacturing and facilities support services, ensuring timely delivery of mission-critical hardware and maintenance capabilities that sustain weapons systems readiness. Her role is central to executing strategic procurement initiatives aligned with the Army’s lifecycle management goals for ammunition production and field equipment sustainment. Knox maintains consistent contracting relationships with key industrial partners including AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, FAXON MACHINING, LLC, PALANTIR USG INC, and Allied Metal Tech, LLC—firms recognized for specialized expertise in high-precision machining, defense-grade fabrication, and mission-critical software integration. Her procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in technical reliability, quality assurance compliance, and adherence to defense supply chain standards. She routinely engages with a focused cohort of mid-tier defense contractors capable of meeting stringent military specifications for ordnance and support infrastructure. Knox’s contracting portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a deliberate emphasis on technical capability and mission urgency over socioeconomic classifications, prioritizing performance, scalability, and supply chain resilience above set-aside preferences. While small businesses are not formally targeted through 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB mechanisms, she maintains an open solicitation environment that allows qualified small firms to compete on technical merit. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 332993 (Ammunition Manufacturing) and 561210 (Facilities Support Services), encompassing the acquisition of medium- and large-caliber munitions, machine tools for ordnance production, metal fabrication for weapon subsystems, and maintenance services for industrial facilities supporting ammunition plants. She possesses deep domain expertise in defense manufacturing logistics, quality control protocols for explosive components, and facility operations supporting classified production environments.
