Elizabeth A. Colpaert

Elizabeth A. Colpaert serves as a Contract Specialist at W4GG Hq US Army Tacom, where she plays a critical role in executing the lifecycle acquisition and sustainment of ground combat and support vehicle systems. She manages complex procurement actions spanning engineering services, specialized manufacturing, and integrated logistics support for armored and tactical wheeled platforms. Her work directly supports the Army’s mission to maintain technological superiority and operational readiness through timely, compliant, and mission-focused contracting. Colpaert routinely handles sealed bids, negotiated contracts, and performance-based service agreements under FAR and DFARS frameworks, ensuring alignment with DoD modernization priorities. She maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including Schutt Industries, VAREC NV, ONTIC Engineering & Manufacturing, A&M Aerostuctures, and Bowhead Avionics Manufacturing. These partnerships center on the design, fabrication, and integration of vehicle components, avionics systems, and specialized structural assemblies. Colpaert fosters collaborative, performance-driven vendor relationships, emphasizing technical compliance, quality assurance, and supply chain resilience in support of high-stakes military platforms. Colpaert’s contracting portfolio reflects a strict preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her awards issued without set-aside designations. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her approach ensures competitive fairness and broad market access, aligning with TACOM’s mission-critical timelines and technical requirements that often exceed small business capacity. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services) and 712110 (Museums), though the latter likely reflects data classification anomalies; more operationally relevant categories include 334118 (Computer Peripheral Equipment Manufacturing) and 423390 (Construction Material Wholesalers). She specializes in procuring embedded systems, ruggedized computing hardware, and mission-critical components for armored vehicle modernization, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with military-grade electronics and survivability-enhancing technologies.
