John Tigue

John Tigue serves as a key procurement professional within the W6QM MICC FDO Ft Bragg, supporting the Department of the Army’s mission to sustain critical garrison infrastructure and operational readiness at one of the nation’s largest military installations. He manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on mission-critical support services and technical systems, ensuring that base operations—from lodging and food services to electronic infrastructure—remain fully functional and secure. His work directly enables the daily sustainment of active-duty units and support personnel through timely, compliant contract actions aligned with federal acquisition regulations. Tigue maintains consistent contracting relationships with a select group of vendors, including SILVER NATIONAL CORP., A TO B CREATIONS INC, and TACTICAL ELECTRONICS AND MILITARY SUPPLY L.L.C., who provide specialized solutions in military-grade electronics, facility support systems, and customized technical services. His procurement patterns reflect a preference for established small business partners with proven capabilities in defense-support domains, fostering long-term vendor engagement grounded in reliability and regulatory compliance. A strong advocate for small business participation, Tigue prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Aside contracts under FAR 19.5, directing approximately 75% of his acquisitions to small businesses. This reflects a deliberate strategy to enhance socioeconomic diversity in the supplier base while ensuring competitive, agile responses to operational needs. His contracting approach consistently leverages set-asides to promote economic opportunity within the defense industrial base. His technical focus centers on NAICS 334419 (Other Electronic Component Manufacturing) and 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services), reflecting deep expertise in procuring military electronics, embedded systems, and mission-critical IT infrastructure. He routinely sources custom hardware components, networked command and control systems, and integrated software solutions that support installation-wide operational resilience and cybersecurity compliance.
