Ann Boak

Ms. Ann Boak serves as a contracting professional within the W4GG Hq US Army Tacom, responsible for managing the acquisition and lifecycle sustainment of ground combat and support vehicle systems under the Department of the Defense. Her role centers on executing complex procurement actions for armored platforms, tactical wheeled vehicles, and associated ordnance systems, ensuring operational readiness through integrated engineering and logistics support. She handles full-spectrum contracts spanning design, manufacturing, integration, and modernization of mission-critical defense equipment, aligning acquisitions with the Army’s strategic priorities in survivability, mobility, and power efficiency. Ms. Boak maintains longstanding partnerships with key industrial providers including Schutt Industries of Clintonville, Wis., Inc., ONTIC ENGINEERING & MANUFACTURING, INC., A&M AEROSTRUCTURES, INC., and BOWHEAD AVIONICS MANUFACTURING, LLC. These relationships reflect a preference for established defense contractors with proven expertise in vehicle armor, structural components, avionics integration, and precision manufacturing. Her contracting patterns emphasize technical reliability and mission-critical performance, often requiring compliance with stringent military specifications and quality assurance protocols. Ms. Boak’s procurement portfolio reflects a 100% non-set-aside approach, indicating a focus on full and open competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. This pattern underscores a mission-driven priority for technical capability and rapid delivery over socioeconomic preferences, consistent with the high-stakes nature of armored vehicle sustainment and modernization. Her primary acquisition focus lies in defense manufacturing and systems integration, with deep expertise in procurement for armored vehicle components, tactical electronics, and mechanical subsystems. She routinely engages with contractors specializing in advanced materials, survivability enhancements, and power-dense vehicle systems, demonstrating a strong command of defense-specific technical domains and acquisition regulations governing ground combat systems.
