Priscilla L. Adams DuMont

Ms. Priscilla Adams-DuMont serves as a Contracting Officer within the W6QK Acc-rsa under the Department of the Army, where she plays a pivotal role in advancing the U.S. Army’s aerial and missile defense modernization initiatives. She manages complex acquisitions for mission-critical aerospace systems, including avionics, propulsion components, and guided missile subsystems supporting platforms such as the UH-60 and AH-64 Apache. Her portfolio emphasizes technical procurement of high-reliability components essential to operational readiness, ensuring compliance with defense acquisition regulations and lifecycle sustainment requirements. Ms. Adams-DuMont cultivates strategic relationships with a diverse base of industrial partners, including specialized manufacturers of printed circuit boards, power transformers, and aerospace-grade rubber and plastic components. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with both large defense primes and niche suppliers capable of meeting stringent military specifications for durability, electromagnetic compatibility, and environmental resilience. Her contracting approach prioritizes technical capability, supply chain reliability, and adherence to MIL-STD and AS9100 quality standards. A strong advocate for small business participation, Ms. Adams-DuMont allocates 36.4% of her acquisitions as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic inclusion. She actively seeks qualified small businesses with expertise in precision manufacturing and defense-adjacent technologies, fostering partnerships that enhance innovation and resilience in the defense industrial base without relying on 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB-specific set-asides. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 335311 (power and specialty transformers), 326220 (rubber and plastic hoses/belting), and 334412 (bare printed circuit boards), reflecting a technical emphasis on electrical infrastructure, environmental sealing, and electronic subsystems. She also oversees acquisitions in guided missile manufacturing (336414 and 336419), underscoring her expertise in mission-critical defense systems requiring rigorous certification and quality control.
