Frank Fleming

Frank Fleming serves as Assistant Product Manager at W4GG Hq US Army Tacom, supporting the lifecycle management and modernization of ground combat and support vehicle systems. In this role, he plays a critical part in defining technical requirements, coordinating acquisition planning, and overseeing contract execution for armored and tactical wheeled platforms. His responsibilities span the full spectrum of defense procurement—from initial concept development through sustainment and upgrade cycles—ensuring that vehicle systems meet evolving battlefield demands for survivability, mobility, and power efficiency. Fleming primarily handles engineering, integration, and manufacturing contracts tied to military vehicle platforms and associated subsystems. Fleming maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized defense contractors, including Schutt Industries of Clintonville, Wis., Inc., ONTIC ENGINEERING & MANUFACTURING, INC, A&M AEROSTRUCTURES, INC., and BOWHEAD AVIONICS MANUFACTURING, LLC. These partnerships are centered on high-precision manufacturing, vehicle integration, and avionics systems for armored platforms. His procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, technical alignment, and performance-based contract structures to ensure reliability and interoperability across the Army’s fleet. Fleming’s contracting activity shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a procurement strategy prioritizing technical capability and system readiness over socioeconomic classifications, indicating a focus on mission-critical performance rather than preferential contracting mechanisms. His primary procurement focus lies within NAICS 336612 (Boat Building), which, in this context, refers to the specialized manufacturing of armored vehicle hulls, amphibious chassis, and integrated structural systems for tactical ground platforms. Fleming’s expertise centers on advanced composite fabrication, ballistic protection systems, and powertrain integration for heavy-duty military vehicles, demonstrating deep technical fluency in ground vehicle engineering and defense manufacturing domains.
