Alicia Patrick

Alicia D. Patrick serves as a Contract Specialist at W4GG Hq US Army Tacom, where she plays a pivotal role in executing the lifecycle acquisition and sustainment of ground combat and support vehicle systems. Responsible for managing full-cycle contracting actions, she ensures compliance with Department of Defense acquisition regulations while supporting the modernization of armored vehicles, tactical wheeled platforms, and associated ordnance systems. Her portfolio primarily encompasses complex technical procurements involving manufacturing, engineering services, and logistics support, requiring deep familiarity with defense-specific standards and Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) compliance. Patrick maintains longstanding relationships with key contractors including Schutt Industries of Clintonville, Wis., Inc., ONTIC ENGINEERING & MANUFACTURING, INC, A&M AEROSTRUCTURES, INC., and BOWHEAD AVIONICS MANUFACTURING, LLC. These partnerships reflect a focus on high-precision manufacturing and integrated systems support critical to vehicle survivability and mission readiness. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical rigor, and vendor accountability, fostering collaborative engagements with industry partners capable of delivering mission-critical hardware and engineering solutions under stringent military specifications. Her procurement activity is exclusively conducted under full and open competition, with no set-asides for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic programs. This reflects a strategic emphasis on technical capability and industrial capacity over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with TACOM’s urgent operational requirements and the specialized nature of ground vehicle sustainment. Patrick’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 333517 (Machine Tool Manufacturing) and 336992 (Military Armored Vehicle Manufacturing), each accounting for one-third of her portfolio. She also routinely procures engineering services (541330), electronic components (334419), and logistics consulting (541614), demonstrating expertise across the full spectrum of ground vehicle systems—from component fabrication to integrated system integration and sustainment support.
