Patricia R. Lewis

Patricia R. Lewis serves as a Contract Specialist within the W6QK Acc-apg organization under the Department of the Army (W91CRB), where she plays a pivotal role in acquiring advanced sensing, communications, and analytical systems critical to modern battlefield intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance operations. She manages the full lifecycle of complex procurement actions—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—ensuring alignment with strategic Army modernization priorities in aeronautical instrumentation, radio frequency platforms, and tactical data analytics. Her acquisitions typically involve high-technology hardware, mission-critical software integration, and engineering services supporting next-generation tactical networks. Patricia collaborates with a diverse array of defense contractors specializing in communications equipment manufacturing, aeronautical systems, and defense engineering services. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with firms possessing deep expertise in RF system design, airborne sensor integration, and battlefield data processing. Her working relationships are characterized by technical rigor and compliance-driven collaboration, ensuring contractors meet stringent military performance, interoperability, and cybersecurity standards. Her contracting approach reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions issued without set-asides. This indicates a focus on accessing the broadest possible pool of qualified vendors capable of delivering mission-critical capabilities, rather than prioritizing socioeconomic programs. Her procurement strategy emphasizes technical merit and performance readiness over socioeconomic categorization. Patricia’s primary procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 334220 (radio and wireless communications equipment), 334290 (other communications equipment), 334511 (aeronautical and navigation systems), 336413 (aircraft auxiliary equipment), and 541330 (engineering services). She routinely procures ruggedized radio transceivers, electronic warfare sensors, avionics components, and custom-engineered data fusion solutions, demonstrating deep familiarity with DoD technical specifications and defense acquisition regulations.
