Erika Dennison

Erika Dennison 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 for the Department of Defense. She manages complex procurement actions spanning engineering services, ordnance manufacturing, and advanced avionics integration, ensuring compliance with FAR and DFARS requirements while aligning acquisitions with TACOM’s mission to enhance vehicle survivability, mobility, and technological superiority. Her portfolio includes high-priority contracts for armored platform modernization, tactical wheeled vehicle upgrades, and mission-critical component supply chains. Dennison maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including Schutt Industries, VAREC NV, ONTIC Engineering & Manufacturing, A&M Aerostuctures, and Bowhead Avionics Manufacturing. These partnerships reflect a focus on specialized manufacturers of military-grade metal fabrications, electronic systems, and integrated vehicle subsystems. Her contracting approach emphasizes technical rigor, supply chain resilience, and performance-based outcomes, fostering long-term vendor collaboration to meet urgent operational readiness needs. Her procurement patterns demonstrate a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with nearly half of her awards directed toward small business categories—21.7% allocated to Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business Set-Asides and an equal share to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. While the majority of her contracts are unrestricted, her deliberate inclusion of SDVOSBs and small businesses underscores a strategic emphasis on broadening industrial base participation without compromising mission-critical capabilities. Dennison’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 332994 (Small Arms, Ordnance, and Ordnance Accessories Manufacturing), reflecting deep expertise in munitions, armor systems, and tactical weapon components. She also routinely procures specialized fabricated metal products (332999), avionics and navigation systems (334511), and professional engineering services (541990), demonstrating proficiency across the full spectrum of ground vehicle system integration—from ordnance to electronic architecture.
