While not the primary contracting officer, he plays a critical role in facilitating acquisition planning, technical requirement validation, and contract administration for advanced vehicle systems. His work directly enables the agency’s mission to sustain and enhance the readiness of armored and tactical wheeled platforms through integrated engineering and logistics support. Yeager typically handles complex, multi-year procurements involving avionics, vehicle electronics, software integration, and specialized fabricated metal components critical to modernization initiatives. Yeager maintains consistent working relationships with key 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-reliability defense suppliers with proven capabilities in vehicle systems integration, electronic architecture development, and precision metal fabrication. His collaboration patterns emphasize long-term technical alignment, performance-based contracting, and iterative requirements refinement to support fielded system upgrades and sustainment. His procurement portfolio reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 92.9% of actions conducted without socioeconomic set-asides. While small business participation is limited, the 7.1% of awards directed to 8(a) competed contracts indicate selective engagement with certified disadvantaged firms, primarily for niche technical services or specialized manufacturing tasks requiring unique certifications. Yeager’s primary procurement focus lies in software publishing (NAICS 513210) and information services (NAICS 511210), reflecting a heavy emphasis on vehicle command and control software, embedded systems, and digital diagnostics. He also frequently procures fabricated metal components (NAICS 332999) and analytical instrumentation (NAICS 334516) for testing and maintenance systems. His expertise centers on the integration of mission-critical software, avionics, and ruggedized hardware for armored vehicle platforms, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with Army ground systems modernization priorities.
