Stephanie Howell

Stephanie Howell serves as a key procurement lead within the W6QK Acc-pica organization under the Department of the Army, supporting the acquisition of critical infrastructure, facility services, and operational support systems essential to military readiness. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on sustaining combat systems, maintaining installation infrastructure, and enabling reliable logistics and munitions supply chains. Her work directly advances the agency’s mission to modernize ammunition production capabilities and ensure base-wide operational continuity through strategic sourcing of construction, maintenance, and facility support services. Howell routinely handles complex, multi-year acquisitions under FAR Part 19 and other federal procurement frameworks, emphasizing compliance, risk mitigation, and mission alignment. She maintains strong, ongoing relationships with prime contractors including NORTHROP GRUMMAN SYSTEMS CORPORATION, GENERAL DYNAMICS OTS (WILKES BARRE), LLC, and THE LOCKWOOD GROUP LLC, among others, often partnering with large defense contractors for integrated facility and logistics solutions while simultaneously fostering collaboration with specialized service providers like LOGISYS TECHNICAL SERVICES INC and PROGSIT LLC. Her contracting patterns reflect a balanced approach—leveraging large-scale industrial capacity while ensuring robust small business involvement across technical domains. Howell demonstrates a pronounced commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with over half of her awards set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5, and significant allocations to Women-Owned Small Businesses and 8(a) firms. Her procurement strategy actively prioritizes inclusion under the SBA’s EDWOSB program and reflects a deliberate effort to expand vendor diversity while maintaining performance standards. Her primary procurement focus lies in commercial and institutional building construction (NAICS 236220) and plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning contracting (NAICS 238220), with additional emphasis on facility maintenance services including landscaping, pest control, and food service contracting. This technical specialization underscores her expertise in sustaining military installation environments through integrated, mission-critical infrastructure support.
