Jenna N. McGinnis

Jenna McGinnis serves as a Contract Specialist at W4GG Hq US Army Tacom, where she plays a critical role in executing lifecycle acquisition strategies for ground combat and support vehicle systems. Her responsibilities include managing full-spectrum contracting actions—from solicitation and evaluation to award and administration—for technically complex defense systems, including armored vehicle components, tactical wheeled platforms, and associated ordnance infrastructure. She operates within the Department of Defense’s integrated acquisition framework, ensuring compliance with FAR and DFARS while aligning procurements with TACOM’s mission to sustain and modernize Army ground mobility and survivability capabilities. Her portfolio emphasizes engineering, manufacturing, and logistics support contracts requiring rigorous technical oversight and systems integration expertise. McGinnis maintains established relationships with key contractors including Schutt Industries, VAREC NV, ONTIC ENGINEERING & MANUFACTURING, INC., A&M AEROSTRUCTURES, INC., and BOWHEAD AVIONICS MANUFACTURING, LLC. These partnerships span advanced manufacturing, avionics integration, armor systems, and specialized vehicle sustainment services. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for proven industrial partners with demonstrated capability in defense-grade production and rapid response logistics, often involving long-term performance-based agreements and technical collaboration across multiple contract phases. While the majority of her acquisitions are conducted as No Set-Aside (81.0%), she consistently supports small business participation through Total Small Business Set-Asides (14.3%) and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business Set-Asides (4.8%). Her approach balances mission-critical urgency with statutory obligations to foster competitive small business engagement, particularly in niche technical domains where SMEs offer specialized expertise. Her primary NAICS focus centers on 336992 for military armored vehicle and tank component manufacturing, with significant activity also in 712110 (museums) and 541720 (social science R&D), reflecting unique procurement needs tied to historical preservation, training simulation development, and human factors analysis. She specializes in procuring high-integrity mechanical systems, survivability enhancements, and mission-critical support services for armored fleet modernization.
