Erika Dennison

Erika Dennison serves as a key procurement professional within the U.S. Army Contracting Command – Detroit Arsenal (ACC-DTA), supporting the acquisition of critical ground combat systems and enabling technologies essential to modernizing Army tactical forces. She manages complex contracting actions for armored vehicles, small arms, ordnance systems, and specialized industrial equipment, ensuring timely delivery of mission-critical capabilities that enhance soldier lethality and battlefield mobility. Her work directly advances the agency’s strategic priorities in rapid prototyping and fielding next-generation defense platforms, operating within the full spectrum of federal acquisition regulations to deliver resilient, survivable, and technologically advanced systems to the warfighter. Dennison maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of prime contractors including BAE SYSTEMS LAND & ARMAMENTS L.P., MURTECH, INC., and BAY SHIP & YACHT CO, among others. These partnerships span heavy industrial manufacturing, ordnance production, and specialized marine and defense support services. Her contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, technical compliance, and performance-based outcomes, often engaging suppliers with proven expertise in military-grade engineering and logistics. Her procurement portfolio reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 71.4% of awards issued without set-asides, while maintaining a meaningful 28.6% commitment to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This balance demonstrates a deliberate strategy to foster competition while ensuring robust small business participation across the defense industrial base. Dennison’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 333413 (industrial fans and air purification equipment), NAICS 332994 (small arms and ordnance manufacturing), and related miscellaneous manufacturing categories. She specializes in acquiring high-performance mechanical systems, precision ordnance components, and mission-specific support equipment critical to armored vehicle sustainment and tactical force readiness. Her technical expertise spans mechanical systems integration, defense manufacturing standards, and defense logistics supply chain management.
