Zachary Noyes

Zachary Noyes serves as a key procurement lead within the W6QK Acc-apg office under the Department of the Army (W91CRB), where he manages acquisitions critical to the development and fielding of next-generation intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance systems. His responsibilities center on sourcing advanced aeronautical instrumentation, radio frequency platforms, and battlefield data analytics solutions that enhance tactical communications and sensor interoperability. Noyes oversees the full lifecycle of contract actions—from market research and solicitation to award and performance monitoring—ensuring alignment with Army modernization priorities and operational readiness requirements. He specializes in complex technical procurements requiring rigorous engineering validation and rapid prototyping cycles. Noyes maintains a vendor ecosystem composed primarily of small businesses with deep expertise in RF systems, signal processing, and embedded communications hardware. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, his procurement patterns reflect a consistent reliance on agile, innovation-driven vendors capable of delivering customized, field-deployable solutions under tight timelines. His working relationships emphasize collaborative engagement, early vendor outreach, and technical alignment sessions to ensure contractor capabilities match evolving warfighter needs. Noyes demonstrates an unwavering commitment to small business participation, with 100% of his acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to cultivate a resilient, diverse supplier base capable of meeting the Army’s rapidly evolving technical demands. He prioritizes partnerships with firms certified under SBA programs, including 8(a), HUBZone, and SDVOSB, fostering innovation through socioeconomic contracting mechanisms designed to expand access for underrepresented entrepreneurs. His procurement focus is exclusively centered on NAICS 334220—Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing—encompassing the acquisition of secure, software-defined radios, airborne sensor payloads, tactical data links, and RF signal intelligence systems. Noyes’ technical expertise lies in electromagnetic spectrum management, digital signal processing, and secure mesh networking, ensuring that all procured systems meet stringent DoD interoperability and cybersecurity standards.
