Tammy M. Woodard

Mrs. Tammy M. Woodard serves as a key contracting professional within the Department of the Army’s W6QK Acc-apg office, identified by agency code W91CRB, where she plays a central role in advancing the Army’s intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance modernization initiatives. She manages complex acquisitions for cutting-edge aeronautical instrumentation, radio frequency platforms, and battlefield data analytics systems, ensuring timely delivery of mission-critical sensing and communications technologies. Her procurement portfolio is heavily focused on research and development contracts that support next-generation tactical capabilities, aligning directly with the agency’s strategic imperative to enhance battlefield awareness and network resilience. Mrs. Woodard cultivates partnerships with a diverse range of technical contractors specializing in physical and engineering research, electronic component manufacturing, and specialized instrumentation. While no single contractor dominates her award profile, she consistently engages firms with proven expertise in RF systems, signal processing, and embedded analytics, fostering collaborative relationships that prioritize innovation, rapid prototyping, and field-deployable solutions. Her contracting approach emphasizes technical rigor and performance-based outcomes, often requiring rigorous test and evaluation protocols. Her set-aside preferences reflect a strong commitment to small business participation, with 13.3% of her awards directed toward Women-Owned Small Businesses, demonstrating a deliberate effort to broaden vendor diversity in high-tech defense R&D. The majority of her acquisitions, at 86.7%, are unrestricted, indicating a focus on technical merit and capability over socioeconomic set-asides, yet she actively encourages SBIR/STTR participation and maintains an open pipeline for qualified small businesses in niche technical domains. Mrs. Woodard’s primary NAICS focus lies in R&D for physical and engineering sciences—particularly 541715 and 541712—reflecting her deep specialization in advanced sensor development, data fusion algorithms, and battlefield communication architectures. She also procures specialized electronic components and surgical appliance manufacturing services, underscoring a unique intersection of defense and biomedical technologies. Her expertise spans the full lifecycle of complex systems acquisition, from concept validation through fielding, ensuring alignment with Army modernization priorities.
