Shanna Dellinger

Shanna Dellinger serves as a key procurement professional within the W6QK Acc-apg Adelphi office of the Department of the Army, supporting the agency’s mission to advance military scientific and technical capabilities through strategic acquisitions of high-precision instrumentation, laboratory systems, and mission-critical engineering services. She manages complex contracting actions for research infrastructure, electronic measurement equipment, and secure computing platforms essential to physical and engineering sciences R&D. Her portfolio emphasizes technical acquisitions requiring stringent performance specifications, compliance with federal security standards, and integration into sensitive defense laboratories. Dellinger maintains established relationships with specialized vendors including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC for facility modernization, PHYSICAL ELECTRONICS USA, INC. for advanced analytical instrumentation, JAXON ENGINEERING AND MAINTENANCE LLC for technical maintenance services, AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC for secure data systems, and ILLUMINA, INC. for next-generation sequencing platforms. Her contracting approach prioritizes technical capability, supply chain resilience, and long-term service support, often engaging vendors with deep domain expertise in defense-relevant science and engineering. Her procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 74.6% of awards issued without set-asides, indicating a focus on technical merit and mission readiness over socioeconomic preferences. Nevertheless, she consistently facilitates 25.4% of awards through Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured commitment to small business participation without compromising mission-critical requirements. Dellinger’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) and 334515 (Instrument Manufacturing for Measuring and Testing Electricity and Electrical Signals), reflecting her specialization in high-end scientific equipment such as mass spectrometers, signal analyzers, and calibrated test systems. She also supports related services under NAICS 541715 for physical and engineering R&D, ensuring acquisitions align with the Army’s advanced laboratory and field-testing needs.
