Victoria Rivano

Victoria Rivano serves as a key procurement lead within the W6QK Acc-pica office of the Department of the Army, responsible for managing strategic acquisitions that sustain critical military readiness capabilities. She oversees the acquisition of precision machine tool systems and defense manufacturing equipment essential to ammunition production, combat system maintenance, and installation infrastructure support. Her work directly enables the Army’s modernization priorities by ensuring timely delivery of high-precision, mission-critical components that underpin force projection and logistical resilience. Rivano specializes in complex, technically demanding contracts requiring rigorous compliance with defense manufacturing standards and supply chain traceability protocols. Rivano maintains longstanding relationships with top-tier defense contractors including Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, General Dynamics OTS (Wilkes-Barre), LLC, and Pioneering Decisive Solutions Inc., all of which provide advanced manufacturing and systems integration services. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, technical validation, and long-term vendor collaboration to ensure reliability and interoperability across munitions and facility support systems. She routinely engages with industrial base partners capable of meeting stringent military specifications, fostering partnerships grounded in quality assurance, on-time delivery, and engineering responsiveness. Rivano’s contracting portfolio reflects a strict focus on full and open competition, with 100% of awards issued under no set-aside conditions. This reflects a deliberate alignment with the Army’s operational urgency and the specialized nature of the equipment procured, where technical capability and production capacity outweigh socioeconomic preference criteria. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her portfolio, all vendors are evaluated on technical merit, past performance, and production scalability. Her primary procurement focus is centered on NAICS 333517 — Machine Tool Manufacturing — encompassing CNC machining centers, automated forging systems, and precision tooling equipment used in munitions and ordnance production. Rivano’s expertise lies in acquiring high-tolerance, defense-grade machinery that supports the Army’s industrial modernization initiatives, requiring deep familiarity with military standards such as MIL-STD and AS9100.
