Jeffrey L. Weiss

Jeffrey L. Weiss serves as a Contract Specialist at W4GG Hq US Army Tacom, where he plays a critical role in executing acquisition strategies for the lifecycle management and modernization of ground combat and support vehicle systems. Responsible for soliciting, awarding, and administering contracts under the Department of Defense’s defense acquisition framework, Weiss specializes in technical procurements involving armored vehicle components, tactical wheeled platforms, and associated ordnance systems. His work directly supports the agency’s mission to ensure battlefield readiness through integrated engineering, logistics, and sustainment solutions, with a focus on survivability, mobility, and power efficiency. Weiss maintains consistent contracting relationships with key industrial partners including Schutt Industries of Clintonville, ONTIC Engineering & Manufacturing, A&M Aerostuctures, and Bowhead Avionics Manufacturing. These vendors provide specialized manufacturing, avionics integration, and structural components critical to military vehicle modernization. His procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, often involving complex technical requirements and performance-based contracting methods, ensuring alignment with Army technical specifications and field sustainment needs. His contracting patterns reflect a strong emphasis on open competition, with nearly 70% of awards issued under no set-aside provisions. However, he actively supports small business participation, with approximately 24% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and additional allocations to 8(a) and HUBZone programs, demonstrating a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals without compromising mission-critical delivery timelines. Weiss’s procurement focus centers on NAICS codes related to automotive repair and maintenance, machine tool manufacturing, rubber product manufacturing, and building equipment contracting—reflecting his domain expertise in vehicle subsystems, maintenance infrastructure, and specialized fabrication. He routinely manages acquisitions for components such as armor plating, suspension systems, sealing assemblies, and maintenance tooling, requiring deep technical understanding of military vehicle architecture and supply chain resilience.
