Amy D. Malenfant

Amy D. Malenfant serves as a Contract Specialist at the W4GG Hq US Army Tacom, where she plays a pivotal role in managing the acquisition lifecycle for ground combat and support vehicle systems. Responsible for soliciting, evaluating, and awarding contracts aligned with the Army’s modernization and sustainment priorities, she ensures that technical and logistical requirements for armored platforms, tactical wheeled vehicles, and associated ordnance systems are met through compliant, efficient procurement practices. Her portfolio centers on engineering services and specialized manufacturing, supporting the agency’s mission to maintain technological superiority and operational readiness across the U.S. ground forces. Malenfant maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including Schutt Industries, VAREC NV, ONTIC ENGINEERING & MANUFACTURING, INC., A&M AEROSTRUCTURES, INC., and BOWHEAD AVIONICS MANUFACTURING, LLC. These partnerships reflect a focus on high-precision manufacturing, avionics integration, and advanced structural systems critical to vehicle survivability and performance. Her procurement approach emphasizes technical rigor, performance-based outcomes, and long-term vendor collaboration to support complex, mission-critical systems. Her contracting activity shows no reliance on socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on technical capability and industrial capacity over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with the urgency and specificity of defense vehicle modernization requirements. Malenfant’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), which accounts for two-thirds of her activity, encompassing systems engineering, vehicle integration, and survivability analysis. The remaining third falls under NAICS 339992 (Musical Instrument Manufacturing), a misclassification that likely reflects administrative coding anomalies rather than actual procurement intent. Her expertise is firmly rooted in defense engineering and advanced manufacturing domains, supporting the Army’s need for rugged, high-performance ground systems.
