Sarah Weigandt

Sarah Weigandt serves as a key procurement lead within the W6QK Acc-ri under the Department of the Army, responsible for managing the acquisition of critical industrial base capabilities essential to ordnance production, precision machining, and battlefield support systems. Her work directly supports the Army’s readiness objectives by securing advanced manufacturing, research and development, and maintenance services for weapons systems and munitions infrastructure. She specializes in complex, technical contracts requiring high-precision fabrication, engineering analysis, and systems integration, ensuring that the Army’s industrial base remains agile and resilient. Her portfolio centers on mission-critical components that sustain the lifecycle of fielded equipment and enable modernization priorities. Weigandt maintains strategic relationships with a select group of specialized contractors, including AMD International Technologies LLC, Faxon Machining, LLC, Palantir USG Inc., and Allied Metal Tech, LLC, all of which provide advanced machining, software-enabled logistics solutions, and metal fabrication services. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in defense-grade manufacturing and secure data systems. Her contracting approach emphasizes long-term reliability, technical compliance, and supply chain security, often requiring adherence to ITAR, DFARS, and other defense-specific regulatory frameworks. Her procurement activity is exclusively structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a firm commitment to empowering small businesses as the primary source for industrial support. Every contract is intentionally reserved for small business concerns, fostering innovation and capacity-building within the defense industrial base. This consistent pattern reinforces the Army’s mandate to cultivate a robust, diverse supplier ecosystem capable of meeting high-stakes operational demands. The sole NAICS focus is 541715—Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences—reflecting her specialization in engineering services for ordnance systems, machine tool optimization, and battlefield component prototyping. She procures advanced R&D deliverables including precision-machined parts, test instrumentation, and simulation-driven design validation, requiring deep technical proficiency in mechanical engineering and defense manufacturing standards.
