Lewis Longenberger

Lewis Longenberger 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. Responsible for managing engineering and technical services acquisitions, he ensures the Army’s armored and tactical wheeled platforms receive cutting-edge sustainment and upgrade capabilities. His work directly enables mission readiness by securing specialized engineering solutions that enhance vehicle survivability, mobility, and power efficiency. Longenberger primarily handles contracts under the engineering services domain, coordinating with industry partners to deliver integrated design, analysis, and systems integration support for complex military vehicle architectures. He maintains consistent relationships with leading defense contractors including Schutt Industries, VAREC NV, ONTIC ENGINEERING & MANUFACTURING, INC, A&M AEROSTRUCTURES, INC., and BOWHEAD AVIONICS MANUFACTURING, LLC. These partnerships are centered on high-precision engineering services, avionics integration, structural modifications, and sustainment engineering for tactical vehicle platforms. Longenberger’s contracting approach emphasizes technical excellence and long-term vendor collaboration, often engaging firms with proven expertise in military-grade systems engineering and defense-specific manufacturing standards. Longenberger’s procurement portfolio reflects a 100% no set-aside preference, indicating a focus on open competition for technically complex, mission-critical engineering services. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through socioeconomic set-asides, his acquisitions remain open to all qualified vendors, with selection driven by technical capability, past performance, and systems integration expertise rather than socioeconomic criteria. His primary procurement focus is on NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), encompassing systems engineering, mechanical and electrical design, survivability analysis, and vehicle modernization support. He routinely procures advanced engineering deliverables such as finite element analysis, ballistic protection modeling, powertrain integration, and embedded systems development—core competencies required to sustain the Army’s next-generation ground vehicle fleet.
