Stacy A. Potts

Stacy A. Potts serves as a key procurement professional within the W6QK Acc-rsa office of the Department of the Army, supporting the modernization and sustainment of critical aerial and missile defense systems. She manages complex acquisitions for aerospace components, avionics, propulsion systems, and mission-critical support services essential to platforms such as the UH-60 Black Hawk and AH-64 Apache. Her work directly enables the Army’s strategic priorities in air defense modernization, ensuring operational readiness through the timely delivery of high-reliability hardware and technical services. Potts handles a portfolio of competitive and sole-source contracts under FAR Part 15, with a focus on engineering, manufacturing, and logistics support for advanced military aviation systems. While specific contractor names are not publicly available, Potts maintains a broad network of defense aerospace suppliers and systems integrators specializing in aircraft subsystems, sensor integration, and propulsion maintenance. Her contracting approach emphasizes technical rigor, performance-based acquisition strategies, and vendor accountability, fostering long-term partnerships with firms capable of meeting stringent military specifications. She frequently engages with Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers with proven track records in defense aerospace manufacturing and rapid prototyping. Potts demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with approximately 23.1% of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. Though the majority of her contracts remain open to all competitors, she consistently prioritizes opportunities for small businesses with relevant technical capabilities, particularly those certified in aerospace manufacturing. Her contracting patterns reflect a balanced approach—supporting both large industry primes and capable small firms to ensure supply chain resilience and innovation. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), with additional emphasis on aircraft engine manufacturing (336412) and motor/generator systems (335312). She specializes in procuring flight-critical components including avionics housings, torque converters, auxiliary power units, and embedded control systems, demonstrating deep expertise in the technical domains of rotary-wing and missile defense platforms.
