Raina M. Derrick

Raina M. Derrick serves as a secondary procurement professional within the W6QK Acc-pica organization under the Department of the Army, supporting the agency’s mission to sustain combat systems and ensure operational readiness through reliable logistics and facility services. While not a lead contracting officer, Derrick plays a critical role in executing acquisition strategies for non-munitions infrastructure and installation support contracts, contributing to the streamlined procurement of essential services that maintain base functionality and force projection capabilities. Their work primarily involves managing task orders and delivery orders under existing indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles and basic ordering agreements, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and agency-specific procurement policies. Derrick maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of prime contractors including NORTHROP GRUMMAN SYSTEMS CORPORATION, GENERAL DYNAMICS OTS (WILKES BARRE), LLC, and THE LOCKWOOD GROUP LLC, among others. These partnerships reflect a preference for established defense support vendors with proven capabilities in facility operations, environmental services, and maintenance logistics. The contracting patterns indicate a reliance on experienced contractors capable of delivering complex, multi-year service packages under performance-based requirements, often leveraging pre-qualified pools to expedite mission-critical support. Set-aside preferences reveal a balanced approach to small business participation, with nearly 40% of acquisitions reserved for total small businesses under FAR 19.5, while 51.6% remain open to all competitors. Service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses and HUBZone firms receive targeted consideration, reflecting a deliberate effort to meet statutory goals without compromising operational efficiency. Women-owned small businesses are occasionally included, demonstrating alignment with broader socioeconomic objectives. The procurement focus centers on facility and environmental services, with primary NAICS codes in building services (561790), solid waste collection (562111), janitorial services (561720), and landscaping (561730). This specialization underscores expertise in sustaining installation infrastructure through outsourced operational support, ensuring military bases remain mission-ready through reliable, compliant, and cost-effective service delivery.
