Cheryl Oeder serves as a Contract Specialist at the W4GG Hq US Army Tacom, where she plays a pivotal role in executing the lifecycle acquisition and sustainment of ground combat and support vehicle systems. Responsible for managing complex procurement actions under the Department of Defense’s integrated acquisition framework, she ensures timely and compliant contract award and administration for technical services critical to vehicle modernization, survivability, and logistical readiness. Her portfolio primarily encompasses professional, scientific, and technical services supporting engineering, systems integration, and maintenance of armored and tactical wheeled platforms, aligning directly with TACOM’s mission to maintain technological superiority across the Army’s ground fleet. Cheryl maintains established working relationships with a core group of specialized contractors, including Schutt Industries of Clintonville, ONTIC Engineering & Manufacturing, A&M Aerostuctures, and Bowhead Avionics Manufacturing. These partnerships reflect a focus on niche technical capabilities in vehicle component manufacturing, avionics integration, and advanced materials engineering. Her contracting patterns demonstrate consistent engagement with a stable cohort of experienced defense suppliers, indicating a preference for vendors with proven expertise in military-grade systems and long-term sustainment support. Cheryl’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of her contracts awarded under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on technical merit and industrial capacity over socioeconomic categorizations, prioritizing mission-critical performance and system interoperability over targeted small business set-asides. Her primary procurement focus lies within NAICS 541990—All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services—encompassing specialized engineering support, systems analysis, and technical advisory services essential to vehicle modernization. She routinely procures advanced technical services related to survivability enhancements, power system integration, and digital architecture upgrades for armored platforms, demonstrating deep domain expertise in military ground vehicle lifecycle management.
