Sam Feleke

Sam Feleke serves as a key procurement lead within the W6QK Acc-ri under the Department of the Army, responsible for managing acquisitions that sustain and modernize the Army’s industrial base for munitions, precision components, and battlefield support systems. Focused on ensuring operational readiness, Feleke oversees the acquisition of fabricated metal products, machine tools, and maintenance services critical to weapons systems and ammunition production. Their work directly supports the lifecycle management of field equipment and ordnance infrastructure, aligning with strategic priorities in industrial capacity resilience and technical modernization. Feleke typically handles complex, mission-critical contracts requiring stringent compliance with defense manufacturing standards and logistics integration. Feleke maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized contractors, including AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, FAXON MACHINING, LLC, PALANTIR USG INC, and Allied Metal Tech, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in precision machining, defense-grade fabrication, and mission-critical software integration for logistics and maintenance systems. The contracting approach emphasizes reliability, technical compliance, and past performance, with a pattern of repeat engagements with top-tier suppliers who meet rigorous DoD quality and security requirements. Feleke’s procurement portfolio reflects a 100% no set-aside strategy, indicating a focus on full and open competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. This approach prioritizes technical capability and industrial capacity over socioeconomic criteria, suggesting a mission-driven emphasis on rapid, scalable, and high-assurance delivery of critical defense components. While small business participation is not formally incentivized through set-asides, vendors of all sizes compete on technical merit and performance history. The primary NAICS classification for Feleke’s acquisitions is 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), reflecting a specialized focus on constructing and upgrading industrial facilities that house munitions production lines, precision machining cells, and maintenance hangars. This technical domain requires deep expertise in defense infrastructure standards, hazardous material handling, and facility modernization for high-security manufacturing environments.
