Kimberly Stansbury

Kimberly Stansbury supports the acquisition and lifecycle management functions at W4GG Hq US Army Tacom, playing a critical role in procuring advanced ground vehicle systems for the Department of Defense. She oversees contracts related to the sustainment, modernization, and technological enhancement of armored combat vehicles, tactical wheeled platforms, and associated mechanical and electronic components. Her work ensures operational readiness by facilitating timely delivery of mission-critical systems through integrated acquisition strategies aligned with Army modernization priorities, including survivability, mobility, and power efficiency enhancements. Stansbury maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized contractors, including Schutt Industries of Clintonville, ONTIC Engineering & Manufacturing, A&M Aerostuctures, and Bowhead Avionics Manufacturing. These partnerships focus on the design, fabrication, and integration of armored vehicle components, power transmission systems, avionics, and electronic assemblies. Her procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration with firms possessing deep domain expertise in military-grade manufacturing, often engaging suppliers with proven track records in defense-specific engineering and quality assurance standards. Her contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 77.2% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions. However, she actively supports small business participation, allocating 22.8% of opportunities as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to fostering innovation and capacity within the defense industrial base without prioritizing specific socioeconomic categories like 8(a) or HUBZone. Stansbury’s procurement focus centers on NAICS 336992 for military armored vehicle and tank component manufacturing, with significant activity in mechanical power transmission (333613), electrical and electronic subsystems (334418, 335999), and motor vehicle electronics (336320). She routinely sources precision-engineered components for combat vehicle platforms, including armor integration systems, drivetrain assemblies, and mission-critical electronic controls, reflecting deep technical expertise in ground vehicle systems acquisition.
