Renee K. Prendergast

Renee K. Prendergast serves as a Contracting Officer within the W6QK Acc-pica organization under the Department of the Army, where she plays a pivotal role in advancing military readiness through the acquisition of critical defense manufacturing and operational support systems. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on ammunition production, metal container fabrication, and facility services essential to sustain combat systems and logistics infrastructure. Her work directly supports the Army’s strategic priorities in modernizing munitions supply chains and ensuring base-wide operational continuity, requiring deep expertise in defense procurement regulations, performance-based contracting, and lifecycle management of high-stakes defense assets. Prendergast maintains longstanding relationships with key defense industry partners including Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, General Dynamics OTS (Wilkes-Barre), LLC, and Lockwood Group LLC, among others. These partnerships reflect a pattern of engagement with established prime contractors capable of delivering complex, high-volume manufacturing and technical services under stringent military specifications. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance accountability, compliance with defense standards, and rigorous oversight to ensure mission-critical deliverables meet operational readiness requirements. While the majority of her acquisitions are conducted as full and open competition—reflecting a 76.2% no set-aside rate—she actively supports small business participation through Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a balanced commitment to both scale and socioeconomic inclusion. Her procurement patterns reflect a deliberate effort to integrate capable small businesses into the defense industrial base without compromising mission performance. Her primary NAICS focus centers on 332993 (Ammunition Manufacturing), where she oversees the procurement of medium- and large-caliber munitions systems, complemented by significant activity in metal container manufacturing (332439) and paperboard packaging (322219). This technical specialization underscores her expertise in ordnance logistics, materiel handling systems, and industrial supply chain management for Army ammunition and sustainment operations.
