John Sarti

John Sarti 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. Responsible for managing complex acquisition programs, he oversees contracts related to armored vehicle systems, avionics integration, and technical support services critical to maintaining tactical readiness. His role ensures alignment between engineering requirements and acquisition execution, facilitating the fielding of advanced survivability, mobility, and power systems for armored fleets. He routinely handles sole-source and competitive procurements under FAR Part 13 and Part 15, with a focus on rapid response to operational needs and sustainment of legacy and next-generation platforms. Sarti maintains strong working relationships with a core group of specialized contractors, including Schutt Industries, ONTIC Engineering & Manufacturing, A&M Aerostuctures, and Bowhead Avionics Manufacturing. These partnerships center on the design, fabrication, and integration of military-grade vehicle components, avionics suites, and structural systems. His contracting approach emphasizes technical collaboration with vendors possessing deep domain expertise in armored vehicle systems, ensuring compliance with military specifications and rapid delivery of mission-critical hardware and support services. His procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 91.7% of awards issued without set-asides, indicating a focus on technical capability over socioeconomic classifications. However, he consistently allocates 8.3% of awards to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured but deliberate commitment to small business participation without compromising mission-critical performance standards. Sarti’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334511 for navigation and guidance systems and 561210 for facilities support services, each accounting for one-third of his portfolio. He also actively procures military armored vehicle components under 336992 and technical consulting services under 541690. His expertise spans integrated systems engineering, survivability upgrades, and logistics support for tactical wheeled and tracked platforms, reflecting deep technical fluency in DoD ground vehicle modernization.
