Paula Fulper

Paula Fulper serves as a key procurement professional within the W6QK Acc-pica organization under the Department of the Army, overseeing the acquisition of critical defense manufacturing and ordnance systems essential to military readiness. Her responsibilities center on managing end-to-end contracting cycles for small arms, ordnance, and related accessories, ensuring timely delivery of mission-critical munitions and support systems to sustain combat operations and installation infrastructure. She plays a pivotal role in executing the agency’s strategic imperative to modernize ammunition production capabilities and maintain resilient logistics supply chains, with a focus on high-integrity, mission-essential procurements governed by strict defense acquisition regulations. Fulper maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of prime contractors including Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, General Dynamics OTS (Wilkes Barre), LLC, Pioneering Decisive Solutions Inc, Bigelow Family Holdings LLC, and WisenEngineering LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established defense industrial base vendors with proven expertise in ordnance manufacturing, explosive handling, and precision munitions assembly. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical compliance, and supply chain reliability, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in rigorous quality assurance and defense standards. Fulper’s procurement portfolio exhibits no set-aside preferences, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic alignment with national security priorities that prioritize technical capability, production scale, and mission-critical readiness over socioeconomic categorizations. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in her portfolio, all procurements adhere strictly to FAR compliance and competitive fairness standards. Her primary focus is exclusively on NAICS 332994—Small Arms, Ordnance, and Ordnance Accessories Manufacturing—where she specializes in procuring ammunition components, explosive train systems, firing mechanisms, and related ordnance support equipment. Her technical domain expertise lies in ballistic systems, propellant handling, and munitions production infrastructure, ensuring acquisitions meet stringent DoD safety, interoperability, and performance requirements.
