Jayson Weatherington

Jayson Weatherington serves as a key procurement lead within the W4GG Hq US Army Tacom, supporting the lifecycle management and modernization of ground combat and support vehicle systems for the Department of the Army. Responsible for managing complex acquisition programs, he oversees the solicitation, award, and administration of contracts for armored vehicle components, tactical wheeled platforms, and associated ordnance systems. His work directly enables the Army’s strategic priorities in vehicle survivability, mobility, and power efficiency, ensuring fielded systems remain technologically superior and operationally ready through integrated acquisition and logistics support. Weatherington maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized defense contractors, including Schutt Industries, VAREC NV, ONTIC ENGINEERING & MANUFACTURING, INC, A&M AEROSTRUCTURES, INC., and BOWHEAD AVIONICS MANUFACTURING, LLC. These partnerships reflect a focus on high-precision manufacturing, avionics integration, and structural systems for military ground vehicles. His procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, technical alignment, and performance-based contracting to ensure reliability and interoperability across critical platforms. His contracting activity shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a mission-driven emphasis on technical capability and readiness over socioeconomic preferences, prioritizing proven performance and system compatibility in high-stakes defense environments. Weatherington’s procurement portfolio is heavily concentrated in NAICS 336112 (Special Purpose Truck Manufacturing), which accounts for half of his activity, followed by 336120 (Heavy Duty Truck Manufacturing) and 441222 (Boat Dealers)—the latter likely tied to specialized watercraft support systems. He specializes in procuring armored vehicle chassis, modular armor packages, powertrain components, and integrated electronic systems, demonstrating deep expertise in military ground vehicle engineering and sustainment procurement.
