to Randi Kahl

Randi Kahl serves as Program Manager for W6QK Acc-orlando under the Department of the Army, where she leads the acquisition and integration of advanced military training systems and defense technology solutions. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of technical service contracts, she ensures alignment with the agency’s mission to modernize live-fire simulation infrastructure, mission command systems, and aviation/artillery training platforms. Her procurement portfolio centers on engineering, research, and technical services that enhance operational readiness through innovation in defense education and immersive training environments. Kahl’s role is pivotal in translating strategic capability gaps into targeted acquisition strategies that support the Army’s next-generation training objectives. Kahl maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including TORCH RESEARCH, LLC, AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY INTERNATIONAL, and FIDELITY TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION. These partners provide specialized expertise in systems integration, simulation software development, and mission-critical infrastructure support. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical rigor, and sustained collaboration with vendors possessing deep domain knowledge in defense training technologies. She fosters long-term partnerships with firms that demonstrate proven capability in delivering complex, high-fidelity training solutions under stringent DoD compliance standards. Kahl’s acquisition portfolio reflects a 100% preference for non-set-aside contracts, indicating a focus on technical merit and capability over socioeconomic categorization. While small business participation is not structurally prioritized in her current portfolio, her procurement decisions are driven by the need for specialized, mission-critical expertise that meets exacting defense standards. This approach ensures rapid delivery of high-performance systems without compromising technical integrity or operational readiness. Her primary NAICS focus is 237130 (Power and Communication Line and Related Structures Construction), reflecting her oversight of critical infrastructure projects that enable advanced training environments—such as secure communication networks, power distribution systems for simulation centers, and integrated field training ranges. She specializes in procuring turnkey solutions that fuse physical infrastructure with digital training systems, requiring deep expertise in both civil engineering and defense technology integration.
