Benjamin P Tice

Benjamin P. Tice serves as a key procurement lead within the W7MW Uspfo Activity AR ARNG, supporting the readiness and operational sustainability of the Arkansas Army National Guard. He manages acquisition strategies for critical infrastructure, training, and logistical support services aligned with the Department of the Army’s reserve component mission. His portfolio primarily encompasses construction, facility modernization, and specialized equipment procurement, ensuring that National Guard units maintain compliant, mission-ready facilities and operational environments. Tice consistently applies Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) guidelines to deliver timely, cost-effective solutions that meet stringent military standards. Tice maintains strong working relationships with a focused set of contractors, notably TRAILER COUNTRY USA, LLC and AI57 LLC, who provide specialized construction, facility adaptation, and logistical support services. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in military-compatible infrastructure and rapid-response capability. His contracting approach emphasizes reliability, compliance, and performance-based outcomes, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in consistent delivery and regulatory adherence. Tice exhibits a full commitment to small business participation, with 100% of his procurements structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to empower qualified small businesses, including those certified under 8(a), HUBZone, and SDVOSB programs, ensuring equitable access to federal contracting opportunities. His pattern of socioeconomic contracting reinforces the Army’s broader goals of workforce development and community investment within the National Guard ecosystem. His primary acquisition focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), with significant activity in NAICS 238330 (Flooring Contractors) and NAICS 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction). He also manages specialized procurements under NAICS 336411 (Aircraft Manufacturing) for support equipment. Tice’s technical expertise centers on facility modernization, ground infrastructure resilience, and mission-critical construction that directly enhances training readiness and operational sustainability for reserve forces.
