Therese Grimm

Therese Grimm supports the W6QK Acc-pica under the Department of the Army in managing critical defense acquisitions aligned with military readiness and operational sustainment. She oversees the procurement of ordnance manufacturing systems, ammunition production equipment, and related technical services essential to sustaining combat-ready forces. Her work directly enables the modernization of munitions supply chains and the maintenance of installation infrastructure, ensuring reliable logistics support for deployed units. Grimm handles complex, high-stakes contracts involving defense manufacturing, testing, and integration of mission-critical systems, often requiring strict compliance with military specifications and defense industrial base standards. She maintains long-standing partnerships with leading defense contractors including NORTHROP GRUMMAN SYSTEMS CORPORATION, GENERAL DYNAMICS OTS (WILKES BARRE), LLC, and THE LOCKWOOD GROUP LLC, among others. These relationships are characterized by sustained performance, technical collaboration, and adherence to defense acquisition regulations. Grimm works closely with prime contractors capable of delivering integrated solutions in ordnance production, precision guidance systems, and logistics support, favoring vendors with proven track records in secure, high-volume manufacturing and defense-grade quality assurance. Grimm’s procurement portfolio reflects a strict preference for full and open competition, with 100% of awards issued under no set-aside conditions. This indicates a focus on mission-critical capability delivery over socioeconomic preferences, prioritizing technical capability, production capacity, and supply chain resilience. While small business participation is not formally structured through set-asides, vendors of all sizes must meet stringent defense performance and compliance thresholds. Her primary focus lies in NAICS 332994 for small arms, ordnance, and ordnance accessories manufacturing, with secondary emphasis on NAICS 334511 for detection and guidance systems. She procures specialized munitions components, explosive train systems, automated ammunition handling equipment, and associated electronic control systems, demonstrating deep expertise in the technical domains of military ordnance lifecycle management and defense industrial base sustainment.
