Evan T. Batts serves as a Contract Specialist at the W4GG Hq US Army Tacom, where he plays a pivotal role in managing the acquisition lifecycle for ground combat and support vehicle systems under the Department of Defense. Responsible for executing full-cycle contracting actions, he ensures timely and compliant procurement of critical engineering services, armored vehicle components, and technical training solutions that directly support the modernization and sustainment of the Army’s tactical wheeled and armored fleets. His work is central to maintaining operational readiness through disciplined application of FAR and DFARS regulations, with a focus on complex, mission-critical acquisitions requiring rigorous technical evaluation and risk mitigation. Batts maintains established relationships with key industrial partners including Schutt Industries, VAREC NV, ONTIC ENGINEERING & MANUFACTURING, INC., A&M AEROSTRUCTURES, INC., and BOWHEAD AVIONICS MANUFACTURING, LLC. These vendors provide specialized capabilities in armor systems, electronic integration, structural components, and avionics modernization. His contracting approach emphasizes long-term strategic partnerships with firms possessing proven technical expertise in military vehicle platforms, fostering collaboration on design-to-production transitions and sustainment support contracts. His procurement portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, reflecting a mission-driven emphasis on technical capability and schedule certainty over socioeconomic preferences. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through set-asides, Batts consistently evaluates all offerors based on technical merit, past performance, and production capacity, ensuring that mission requirements are met without compromising operational readiness. The majority of his acquisitions fall under NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services) and 336992 (Military Armored Vehicle Manufacturing), with significant activity in 335911 (Electrical Equipment Manufacturing) and 611519 (Technical and Trade Schools). This reflects his specialization in procuring advanced engineering design, vehicle component manufacturing, and specialized military training services essential to sustaining the Army’s armored vehicle fleet.
