Jerry S. Carter

Jerry S. Carter II serves as a key procurement lead 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. He manages complex acquisition portfolios centered on engineering services, maintenance of tactical vehicle systems, and specialized industrial equipment repair, ensuring operational readiness through timely and technically sound contract execution. His work directly enables the Army’s strategic priorities in survivability, mobility, and power efficiency for armored and tactical wheeled platforms, aligning procurement decisions with mission-critical sustainment requirements. Carter regularly collaborates with a core group of specialized 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-integrity engineering, avionics integration, and precision manufacturing for military vehicle platforms. His contracting patterns indicate sustained, long-term vendor relationships built on technical reliability and compliance with defense supply chain standards, with an emphasis on firms capable of supporting ruggedized systems under austere conditions. Carter’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a mission-driven prioritization of technical capability and system interoperability over socioeconomic preferences, though it does not preclude small business participation where they meet stringent performance and certification criteria. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services) and 811310 (Commercial and Industrial Machinery Repair), indicating deep expertise in vehicle systems engineering, maintenance protocols, and specialized industrial support. He procures services related to armor integration, powertrain diagnostics, and avionics retrofitting, underscoring a technical domain centered on ground vehicle sustainment and modernization within the defense industrial base.
