Jenna Burres

Jenna Burres serves as a key procurement professional within the W4GG Hq US Army Tacom, supporting the lifecycle management and modernization of ground combat and support vehicle systems for the Department of Defense. She manages acquisition programs focused on specialized manufacturing and component integration critical to armored vehicle survivability, mobility, and power systems. Her work directly enables the Army’s strategic objectives in sustaining tactical wheeled platforms and ordnance systems through timely, compliant contracting under full and open competition. Burres handles complex solicitations for engineered components, structural assemblies, and mission-critical subsystems requiring rigorous defense standards and technical validation. Her primary contractor relationships include Schutt Industries of Clintonville, Wis., Inc., VAREC NV, ONTIC ENGINEERING & MANUFACTURING, INC, A&M AEROSTRUCTURES, INC., and BOWHEAD AVIONICS MANUFACTURING, LLC—established vendors with proven expertise in defense-grade fabrication, avionics integration, and structural systems for military platforms. These partnerships reflect a pattern of sustained, performance-driven collaboration with manufacturers possessing specialized capabilities in high-reliability, low-volume production environments. Burres consistently engages these contractors through competitive, performance-based contract vehicles to ensure technical fidelity and supply chain resilience. Burres operates under a 100% no set-aside procurement model, prioritizing full and open competition to ensure access to the broadest range of technical capabilities. While socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB are not utilized in her portfolio, her approach emphasizes technical merit, production capacity, and compliance with MIL-SPEC requirements over socioeconomic criteria, aligning with TACOM’s mission-critical procurement standards. Her procurement activity is exclusively concentrated in NAICS 314910 (Textile Bag and Canvas Mills), reflecting a specialized focus on advanced textile-based systems including ballistic fabric assemblies, vehicle interior linings, camouflage netting, and protective covers integral to ground vehicle survivability. This niche specialization underscores her deep expertise in non-metallic, high-performance materials for military applications, bridging traditional textile manufacturing with modern battlefield engineering requirements.
