Kim Ramsay

Kim Ramsay serves as a Contract Specialist at W4GG Hq US Army Tacom, where she plays a pivotal role in executing acquisition strategies for the lifecycle management and modernization of ground combat and support vehicle systems. Responsible for planning, soliciting, awarding, and administering contracts under the Department of Defense’s acquisition framework, she ensures alignment with Army modernization priorities including vehicle survivability, mobility, and power efficiency. Her portfolio primarily encompasses technical procurement actions for specialized engineering, manufacturing, and integration services critical to armored and tactical wheeled platforms, with a strong emphasis on compliance with federal acquisition regulations and defense logistics standards. Ramsay maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including Schutt Industries, VAREC NV, ONTIC ENGINEERING & MANUFACTURING, INC., A&M AEROSTRUCTURES, INC., and BOWHEAD AVIONICS MANUFACTURING, LLC. These partnerships reflect a focus on high-precision manufacturing, avionics integration, and structural systems for military vehicle platforms. Her contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, technical alignment, and performance-based outcomes, fostering reliable supply chain resilience for mission-critical defense systems. A staunch advocate for small business participation, Ramsay consistently applies Total Small Business Set-Aside authority under FAR 19.5, directing 100% of her acquisitions to small business concerns. This reflects a deliberate and comprehensive commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals, ensuring equitable access to defense opportunities for small manufacturers and engineering firms without reliance on other set-aside categories such as 8(a) or HUBZone. Her procurement focus is exclusively aligned with NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), indicating a specialized niche in facility-related infrastructure projects supporting vehicle sustainment, maintenance, and modernization operations. This includes construction and renovation of industrial facilities, hangars, and specialized workshops essential to the Army’s ground vehicle logistics infrastructure, demonstrating deep expertise in defense-related construction contracting within the DoD ecosystem.
