Jeffrey Budd

Jeffrey Budd serves as the primary contracting professional for the U.S. Army Contracting Command – Detroit Arsenal (ACC-DTA), responsible for managing complex acquisitions of ground combat systems and enabling technologies critical to modernizing Army tactical forces. He oversees the procurement of armored vehicle components, integrated ordnance systems, and advanced small arms platforms, ensuring alignment with the Army’s strategic priorities in survivability, lethality, and rapid prototyping. His role is central to delivering mission-critical capabilities that enhance soldier effectiveness and battlefield mobility through timely, compliant, and technically rigorous contract execution. Budd maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of prime contractors, including BAE SYSTEMS LAND & ARMAMENTS L.P., BAY SHIP & YACHT CO, MURTECH, INC., JAPAN MARINE UNITED CORPORATION, and PROFESSIONAL CONTRACT SERVICES, INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established defense industrial base vendors with proven expertise in military-grade manufacturing, systems integration, and specialized engineering support. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical compliance, and supply chain resilience, often engaging contractors with deep domain knowledge in armored vehicle platforms and auxiliary equipment. Budd’s procurement portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on maximizing technical capability and industrial capacity rather than socioeconomic set-asides, prioritizing mission readiness and system interoperability over socioeconomic preferences. While small business participation is not formally targeted, his contracts may still include subcontracting opportunities aligned with prime contractor obligations. His primary procurement focus is centered on NAICS 336413—Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing—despite the Army context, indicating a strong emphasis on advanced subsystems, sensor integrations, and auxiliary components used in ground combat vehicles. His technical domain expertise lies in electromechanical systems, armor integration, and mission-critical auxiliary equipment that supports next-generation tactical platforms.
