Victoria R. Bocchino

Victoria R. Bocchino serves as a Contract Specialist within the W6QK Acc-pica organization under the Department of the Army, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions that sustain combat readiness and force projection. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle management of defense-related contracts, with a focus on ammunition manufacturing, engineering services, and operational support systems. Bocchino ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with the Army’s strategic priorities in modernizing munitions production and maintaining installation infrastructure. She routinely handles complex, high-stakes contracts requiring technical oversight and supply chain resilience, often involving classified or sensitive defense systems. Bocchino maintains consistent working relationships with key defense industry partners, including Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, General Dynamics OTS (Wilkes-Barre), LLC, and Pioneering Decisive Solutions Inc. These partnerships reflect a preference for established defense contractors with proven capabilities in ordnance production, systems integration, and technical support. She also engages with specialized firms such as Bigelow Family Holdings LLC and WisEngineering LLC, indicating a strategic balance between large prime contractors and niche technical providers with domain-specific expertise in military logistics and ordnance systems. Her contracting portfolio reflects a strong emphasis on open competition, with approximately 90% of awards issued without set-asides. However, she consistently allocates 10% of opportunities to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to fostering small business participation without compromising mission requirements. While she does not prioritize socioeconomic set-asides like 8(a) or HUBZone, her approach ensures equitable access for qualified small businesses capable of meeting stringent defense performance standards. Bocchino’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 332993 (Ammunition Manufacturing) and 332994 (Small Arms and Ordnance Manufacturing), accounting for 50% of her portfolio, alongside 30% in engineering services (NAICS 541330). She also procures professional training (NAICS 611430) and miscellaneous manufacturing services critical to sustaining Army readiness. Her expertise spans ordnance systems, technical documentation, and logistics support, reflecting deep familiarity with defense manufacturing standards and DoD acquisition protocols.
