Jessica Wittenberg serves as a Contract Specialist at W4GG Hq US Army Tacom, where she plays a pivotal role in executing complex acquisition strategies for ground combat and support vehicle systems. Responsible for the full lifecycle procurement of armored vehicles, tactical wheeled platforms, and associated ordnance components, she ensures compliance with Department of Defense acquisition regulations while aligning contracts with the agency’s mission of sustaining technological superiority and operational readiness. Her portfolio primarily includes fixed-price and cost-reimbursement contracts for manufacturing, engineering services, and logistics support, often involving high-technology integration and survivability enhancements. Wittenberg maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including Schutt Industries of Clintonville, Wis., Inc., VAREC NV, ONTIC ENGINEERING & MANUFACTURING, INC, A&M AEROSTRUCTURES, INC., and BOWHEAD AVIONICS MANUFACTURING, LLC. These partnerships span the design, fabrication, and integration of armored vehicle subsystems, avionics, structural components, and mission-critical equipment. Her contracting approach emphasizes technical rigor, performance-based outcomes, and long-term sustainment support, fostering collaborative vendor engagements grounded in defense industrial base reliability and supply chain resilience. Her procurement activity reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her awards issued under no set-aside categories. While she does not routinely utilize socioeconomic programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her focus remains on mission-critical capability delivery through established defense contractors with proven expertise in military vehicle systems. Wittenberg’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336212 (Truck Trailer Manufacturing) and 336992 (Military Armored Vehicle, Tank, and Tank Component Manufacturing), reflecting deep specialization in armored chassis fabrication, survivability upgrades, and integrated mobility systems. She also procures heavy-duty truck platforms and professional engineering services under NAICS 336120 and 541990, demonstrating expertise in both hardware production and technical support services essential to modernizing the Army’s ground fleet.
