Gregory J. Tomlinson

Gregory J. Tomlinson serves as a Contract Specialist within the W7N3 USPFO Activity UT ARNG, a Department of the Army unit responsible for sustaining the operational readiness of Army National Guard forces. He manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for mission-critical equipment, training systems, and infrastructure services that directly support command and control modernization, secure communications, and physical readiness programs. His portfolio emphasizes acquisitions under fixed-price and performance-based contracting vehicles, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning with Army National Guard operational priorities. Tomlinson plays a pivotal role in translating unit requirements into actionable contracts that deliver timely, cost-effective solutions across diverse technical domains. Tomlinson maintains consistent contracting relationships with key vendors including AKIMA Readiness Support LLC, Compass Medical Provider LLC, RMRM, Inc., vCloud Gov Inc., and Phoenix Health & Fitness Solutions, LLC. These partnerships reflect a focus on integrated readiness services, medical support, IT infrastructure, and athletic training solutions. His contracting patterns demonstrate a preference for established contractors with proven track records in delivering mission-aligned capabilities, often through competitive sealed bidding and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) mechanisms. He prioritizes vendor reliability, performance history, and compliance with federal standards in vendor selection. Tomlinson’s contracting activity reflects a 100% non-set-aside approach, with no use of 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic set-asides. His procurement strategy prioritizes full and open competition to ensure the highest quality and most capable solutions are selected based on technical merit and mission need, rather than socioeconomic criteria. This reflects a deliberate agency-level emphasis on capability-driven acquisition over socioeconomic preferences. His primary NAICS focus areas include 611420 (Computer Training), 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), and 511210 (Software Publishers). He regularly procures technical training systems, facility upgrades for training centers, and custom software solutions supporting operational readiness. His expertise lies at the intersection of defense logistics, instructional systems design, and infrastructure modernization, making him a key liaison between operational units and technical service providers in the National Guard ecosystem.
