Walter L. Carbajal Jr.

Walter L. Carbajal Jr. serves as a key procurement lead within the W6QK Acc-apg Cont Ct Software Sector under the Department of the Army, overseeing the acquisition of mission-critical software, communications infrastructure, and information technology systems that support Army modernization and battlefield readiness. His responsibilities include managing complex contracting actions for secure, scalable platforms enabling command and control, intelligence processing, and network resilience across distributed operations. He specializes in end-to-end acquisition lifecycle management for IT-enabled solutions, with a focus on ensuring compliance with DoD cybersecurity standards and interoperability requirements for tactical environments. Carbajal maintains strategic relationships with a select group of prime contractors, including British Telecommunications Public Limited Company, Liberty Communications, Inc., and Southwestern Industrial Contractors & Riggers, Inc., reflecting a blend of large-scale telecom and infrastructure expertise with niche construction and systems integration capabilities. His procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and outcome-driven deliverables, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in technical reliability and mission alignment rather than transactional engagements. A strong advocate for socioeconomic diversity in contracting, Carbajal consistently prioritizes small business participation, with 81.8% of his acquisitions set aside under FAR 19.5 for total small business eligibility. This reflects a deliberate strategy to cultivate a robust small business industrial base capable of supporting agile, responsive technology deployment in austere environments. His procurement portfolio is heavily concentrated in construction-related NAICS categories—particularly 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors), 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), and 238160 (Roofing Contractors)—indicating a unique focus on physical infrastructure supporting IT and communications facilities. While software and IT services are central to the agency’s mission, his contracting activity reveals a critical dependency on integrated facility systems that enable the deployment and sustainment of secure digital operations.
