Charley Jackson, Jr.

Charley Jackson, Jr. serves as a primary contracting professional within the W4GG Hq US Army Tacom, responsible for managing the acquisition lifecycle of ground combat and support vehicle systems under the Department of Defense. His role centers on executing full-spectrum procurement actions for armored vehicle platforms, tactical wheeled systems, and critical ordnance components, ensuring alignment with the Army’s modernization and sustainment objectives. He oversees complex contracts involving engineering integration, survivability upgrades, and powertrain modernization, working closely with technical and logistics teams to meet operational readiness mandates. His acquisitions are mission-critical, supporting the fielding and maintenance of next-generation military vehicle architectures. Jackson maintains consistent procurement relationships with a select group of specialized defense contractors, including Schutt Industries of Clintonville, Wis., Inc., VAREC NV, ONTIC ENGINEERING & MANUFACTURING, INC, A&M AEROSTRUCTURES, INC., and BOWHEAD AVIONICS MANUFACTURING, LLC. These partners are recognized for their expertise in armored vehicle fabrication, advanced electronics integration, and survivability system manufacturing. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established, high-capacity vendors with proven track records in military-grade production, emphasizing technical compliance, quality assurance, and supply chain resilience over volume-based competition. Jackson’s procurement portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on mission-critical capability delivery, where technical specificity and industrial capacity outweigh socioeconomic preference criteria. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in his award structure, his contracting actions remain fully compliant with federal acquisition regulations and DoD transparency standards. His primary NAICS focus is 336992—Military Armored Vehicle, Tank, and Tank Component Manufacturing—underscoring deep expertise in the design, production, and sustainment of armored fighting vehicles and their subsystems. He procures specialized components including hull assemblies, ballistic protection kits, power distribution units, and integrated command-and-control architectures, demonstrating technical fluency in military vehicle engineering and systems integration.
