Tariq Miakhel

Tariq Miakhel serves as a key procurement professional within the W6QK Acc-pica, a critical acquisition node under the Department of the Army, where he supports the sustainment and modernization of military ordnance systems and installation infrastructure. His responsibilities center on managing complex acquisition cycles for defense manufacturing and operational support services, ensuring timely delivery of mission-critical capabilities that directly enhance combat readiness and force projection. He routinely oversees contracts governed by FAR Part 13 and Part 15 procedures, with a focus on sealed bidding and negotiated procurements for specialized defense equipment and facility services. Miakhel maintains established relationships with leading defense contractors including Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, General Dynamics OTS (Wilkes-Barre), LLC, and Pioneering Decisive Solutions Inc., reflecting a preference for experienced, qualified vendors with proven track records in ordnance production and military logistics support. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical compliance, and supply chain resilience, fostering long-term partnerships with vendors capable of meeting stringent military specifications and rapid response requirements. While the majority of his acquisitions are conducted as open competitions (75% no set-aside), Miakhel consistently allocates 25% of opportunities to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to expanding small business participation within the defense industrial base. His socioeconomic contracting patterns prioritize qualified small businesses with relevant technical capabilities, particularly those aligned with defense manufacturing and facility support services. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 332994—Small Arms, Ordnance, and Ordnance Accessories Manufacturing—reflecting deep expertise in ammunition production, munitions handling systems, and related ordnance infrastructure. He also procures specialized building services under NAICS 561790 and digital content services under NAICS 511210, underscoring a multidisciplinary approach to sustaining military installations and enabling mission-critical operations through integrated logistics and technical support.
