Walter L. Carbajal serves as a key procurement lead within the W6QK Acc-apg Cont Ct Software Sector under the Department of the Army, responsible for managing complex acquisitions that advance battlefield-ready communications and mission-critical software systems. His work directly supports the Army’s modernization priorities by securing secure, scalable IT platforms, wireless infrastructure, and data-enabled command and control solutions. Carbajal typically handles full lifecycle contracting for software development, network resilience tools, and integrated information systems, ensuring alignment with DoD cybersecurity standards and interoperability requirements across distributed operational environments. He maintains active partnerships with a mix of large-tier vendors and specialized contractors, including British Telecommunications Public Limited Company and Liberty Communications, Inc., for enterprise-grade communications infrastructure, as well as Southwestwestern Industrial Contractors & Rigglers, Inc. for facilities-integrated technical support. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and system integration, fostering long-term vendor collaboration to deliver mission-critical capabilities under tight operational timelines. Carbajal demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 60% of his acquisitions set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5, prioritizing broad small business participation across multiple socioeconomic categories.

His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 and 238290, indicating substantial investment in construction-related support for IT facilities and specialized equipment installation, alongside 334515 for instrumentation used in electrical signal testing and 561210 for facilities support services. This blend reflects a unique integration of physical infrastructure and digital systems, requiring expertise in both construction logistics and mission-critical IT procurement to enable secure, resilient Army networks.
