Gregory Kaminski

Gregory Kaminski serves as a Contract Specialist at the U.S. Army TACOM Headquarters, where he plays a pivotal role in executing the lifecycle acquisition and sustainment of ground combat and support vehicle systems. Responsible for managing complex procurement actions under FAR and DFARS guidelines, he specializes in sourcing critical components for armored vehicles, tactical wheeled platforms, and associated ordnance systems. His work directly supports the Army’s mission to maintain technological superiority through integrated engineering, logistics, and modernization efforts, with a focus on survivability, mobility, and power efficiency in battlefield environments. Kaminski maintains consistent relationships with a select group of Tier 1 defense contractors, including Schutt Industries, VAREC NV, ONTIC Engineering & Manufacturing, A&M Aerostuctures, and Bowhead Avionics Manufacturing. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in specialized military-grade manufacturing, particularly in avionics, structural components, and mission-critical electrical systems. His contracting approach emphasizes technical compliance, supply chain resilience, and performance-based outcomes, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in rigorous quality assurance and delivery timelines. While the majority of his acquisitions are conducted as unrestricted competitions (77.3%), Kaminski demonstrates a meaningful commitment to small business participation, with nearly one-fifth of his portfolio allocated to Total Small Business Set-Asides and a notable emphasis on Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) contracts. His socioeconomic contracting patterns align with DoD priorities to expand opportunities for veteran-owned and specialized small manufacturers in the defense industrial base. His procurement focus centers on NAICS codes related to military armored vehicle manufacturing, motor vehicle electrical and electronic systems, and specialized electrical component production. He regularly acquires armored vehicle subsystems, embedded electronics, wiring harnesses, and metal containment systems essential to modernization programs, reflecting deep technical familiarity with DoD ground systems integration and sustainment requirements.
