It's much different today...just off the top of my head...

The majority of Army Contracting Officers that I work with are female, 
as are a healthy percentage of the Army Contract Specialists I work with.

The current Assistant Secretary of the Army for Acquisition, Logistics 
and Technology is Ms. Heidi Shyu...a female...

Major General N. Lee Price retired as Program Executive Office for 
Command, Control and Communications-Tactical (PEO C3T) in September 
2013...a female...this is an acquisition PEO...

General Ann E. Dunwoody relinquished command of Army Materiel Command on 
7 Aug 2012...last I knew, AMC spent a majority of the Army's procurement 
funds...a female...

I can continue, but I think you get my point...

thanks much and 73,
