Caitlin Taylor supports the U.S. Army Contracting Command – Detroit Arsenal (ACC-DTA) in acquiring critical ground combat systems and enabling technologies essential to modernizing Army tactical forces. She manages procurement activities for armored vehicles, small arms, integrated ordnance systems, and associated subsystems, ensuring timely fielding of resilient, survivable, and technologically advanced equipment that enhances soldier lethality and mobility. Her work directly advances the agency’s strategic priorities in rapid prototyping and next-generation warfighting capabilities, operating within the full lifecycle of defense contracting—from requirements validation to contract award and administration. Taylor maintains established relationships with key defense industrial base partners, including BAE SYSTEMS LAND & ARMAMENTS L.P., BAY SHIP & YACHT CO, MURTECH, INC., JAPAN MARINE UNITED CORPORATION, and PROFESSIONAL CONTRACT SERVICES, INC. These partnerships reflect a balanced approach between large prime contractors with deep systems integration expertise and specialized small businesses providing niche fabrication, logistics, and technical support services. Her contracting patterns emphasize performance-based outcomes and supply chain resilience, often requiring complex technical evaluations for mission-critical components. Her procurement strategy reflects an even split between open competition and Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a strong commitment to socioeconomic inclusion without compromising mission readiness. She consistently leverages small business capabilities in metal fabrication, electrical component manufacturing, and specialized equipment assembly, ensuring broad industrial base participation.
