Patrick Fisher

Patrick Fisher serves as a key procurement lead within U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM), overseeing the acquisition of mission-critical small arms ammunition and related ordnance systems essential to the readiness of elite special operations forces. His role is central to ensuring rapid, reliable access to high-performance ammunition that meets the exacting standards of global special operations missions. He manages the full lifecycle of contracting actions—from requirements validation and source selection to contract execution and performance monitoring—focusing on technologies that enhance lethality, precision, and logistical sustainability in austere environments. His acquisitions directly support USSOCOM’s strategic imperative to maintain tactical overmatch through advanced munitions capability. Fisher’s primary contractor relationship is with Shaver Foods LLC of Fayetteville, Arkansas, a trusted supplier with deep expertise in small arms ammunition manufacturing. His working pattern reflects a long-term, performance-based partnership characterized by consistent recompete awards and a reliance on proven, battle-tested production capabilities. He prioritizes vendors with demonstrated technical proficiency in military-spec ammunition, including compliance with NATO standards and rigorous quality assurance protocols. This relationship underscores a preference for established industrial base partners with proven track records in high-volume, high-integrity ordnance production. Fisher’s contracting activity shows a 100% preference for non-set-aside awards, indicating a focus on capability over socioeconomic categorization. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, his approach reflects a mission-first procurement philosophy where technical performance, reliability, and production capacity are the sole determinants of award. His procurement domain is exclusively focused on NAICS 332992—Small Arms Ammunition Manufacturing—reflecting deep specialization in the design, testing, and production of military-grade cartridges, propellants, and related components. He procures advanced small arms ammunition tailored for special operations use, including armor-piercing, tracer, and low-signature rounds, demonstrating technical expertise in ballistics, materials science, and military ordnance logistics.
