Jessica M. Bailiff

Jessice Bailiff 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 the Army. Responsible for executing complex acquisition strategies, Bailiff oversees contracts for armored vehicle sustainment, tactical wheeled platform upgrades, and critical ordnance system integration. Her work directly enables the Army’s mission to maintain technological superiority and operational readiness across armored fleets, with a focus on engineering-driven procurement that bridges maintenance, modernization, and manufacturing requirements. Bailiff maintains consistent partnerships with a select group of specialized contractors, including Schutt Industries, VAREC NV, ONTIC ENGINEERING & MANUFACTURING, INC, A&M AEROSTRUCTURES, INC., and BOWHEAD AVIONICS MANUFACTURING, LLC. These relationships reflect a preference for tier-one suppliers with proven expertise in military-grade vehicle systems, avionics integration, structural components, and logistics support. Her contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, technical compliance, and performance-based acquisition methods to ensure mission-critical deliverables meet stringent DoD standards. Bailiff’s procurement portfolio reflects a strict focus on full and open competition, with 100% of awards issued under no set-aside classifications. This indicates a deliberate emphasis on technical capability and industrial base readiness over socioeconomic preferences, prioritizing mission necessity and system interoperability in contracting decisions. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in her portfolio, the nature of her acquisitions often engages mid-tier and specialized manufacturers with niche defense capabilities. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 811198 (All Other Automotive Repair and Maintenance) and 336992 (Military Armored Vehicle, Tank, and Tank Component Manufacturing), reflecting deep expertise in vehicle sustainment, armor retrofitting, powertrain upgrades, and survivability enhancements. Bailiff’s domain knowledge spans armored hull fabrication, mobility system integration, and combat vehicle electronics, positioning her at the intersection of logistics, engineering, and tactical vehicle modernization.
