Sally Winn

Sally Winn serves as a Contracting Officer for the W4MM USA Joint Munitions Command, where she plays a critical role in securing the lifecycle support of conventional ammunition and explosives for U.S. Army forces. Responsible for executing full-spectrum acquisition actions—from solicitation through contract award and administration—she ensures the timely delivery of mission-critical munitions systems aligned with DoD readiness objectives. Her portfolio encompasses industrial manufacturing, logistics support, and specialized packaging services essential to maintaining operational supply chains for land, air, and naval combat units. Winn’s work directly supports the Command’s strategic priorities of modernizing warfighting capabilities and enhancing supply chain resilience through disciplined, compliant procurement practices. Winn cultivates strong partnerships with a diverse base of industrial suppliers and specialty manufacturers, primarily engaging small businesses and mid-tier vendors capable of meeting stringent military specifications for munitions components and packaging. Her contracting approach emphasizes collaboration with vendors who demonstrate technical proficiency in defense-grade manufacturing and adherence to Department of Defense quality assurance standards. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently works with firms possessing expertise in precision metal fabrication, industrial material handling, and secure logistics packaging, fostering long-term vendor relationships built on reliability and compliance. A staunch advocate for small business participation, Winn consistently prioritizes Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, allocating 75% of her acquisitions to small business concerns. Her socioeconomic contracting strategy reflects a deliberate emphasis on inclusive sourcing, with frequent use of 8(a), HUBZone, and SDVOSB set-asides to empower economically disadvantaged and veteran-owned enterprises. This commitment ensures broad market access while strengthening the defense industrial base through diverse supplier engagement. Her procurement focus centers on four key NAICS categories: bolt, nut, screw, rivet, and washer manufacturing; packing and crating; industrial truck and materials handling machinery; and metal coating and engraving services. These domains reflect her technical expertise in procuring precision fasteners, secure munitions packaging, material handling equipment, and corrosion-resistant surface treatments—all vital to the safe storage, transport, and deployment of conventional ammunition.
