Kerry Broman

Kerri M. Broman serves as a Contracting Officer at Headquarters, U.S. Army Tank-Automotive and Armaments Command (TACOM), where she manages the acquisition lifecycle for critical ground combat and support vehicle systems. Her responsibilities include soliciting, awarding, and administering contracts for engineering services, armored vehicle manufacturing, and mission-critical avionics and subsystems. She plays a pivotal role in advancing TACOM’s mission to ensure the readiness, survivability, and technological superiority of U.S. Army armored fleets through integrated acquisition and logistics support, focusing on modernization initiatives and sustainment of tactical wheeled platforms and ordnance systems. Broman maintains enduring relationships with key industrial partners including Schutt Industries of Clintonville, Wis., Inc., ONTIC Engineering & Manufacturing, Inc., A&M Aerostuctures, Inc., and Bowhead Avionics Manufacturing, LLC. These vendors provide specialized capabilities in vehicle structural components, military-grade electronics, and precision manufacturing for armored platforms. Her contracting approach emphasizes long-term partnership with firms possessing proven technical expertise in defense-grade production and systems integration, ensuring reliability and compliance with stringent military specifications. Broman’s procurement portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on technical merit and industrial capacity over socioeconomic classifications, aligning with TACOM’s mission-critical need for rapid, high-fidelity delivery of complex defense systems. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through set-asides, her awards still engage qualified small firms capable of meeting demanding technical and quality assurance standards. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), which accounts for over half of her portfolio, followed by 336992 (Military Armored Vehicle Manufacturing). She regularly procures advanced engineering design, survivability upgrades, custom software integration, and specialized training services to support the modernization of tactical vehicle platforms, demonstrating deep expertise in defense systems acquisition and lifecycle sustainment.
