MAJ Katrina Twigg

MAJ Katrina Twigg 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 for the Department of the Army. She manages complex acquisition programs centered on tactical wheeled platforms, armored vehicle systems, and associated ordnance technologies, ensuring alignment with Army modernization priorities in survivability, mobility, and power efficiency. Her portfolio encompasses engineering services, specialized manufacturing, and avionics integration, requiring deep technical oversight and compliance with defense acquisition regulations. Twigg’s role is critical in bridging operational requirements with industrial capabilities to maintain fleet readiness across the Army’s armored vehicle inventory. She maintains sustained relationships with core contractors including Schutt Industries of Clintonville, Wis., Inc., ONTIC ENGINEERING & MANUFACTURING, INC, A&M AEROSTRUCTURES, INC., and BOWHEAD AVIONICS MANUFACTURING, LLC, all of which provide specialized components and subsystems for military vehicle platforms. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven expertise in precision machining, structural fabrication, and mission-critical electronics. Twigg’s contracting approach emphasizes reliability, technical compliance, and supply chain resilience, often engaging contractors through competitive sealed bidding and performance-based contract structures. Her procurement patterns reflect a strong commitment to small business participation, with 36.4% of awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. While the majority of acquisitions remain open to all competitors, she consistently prioritizes opportunities for small businesses capable of delivering specialized manufacturing and engineering services aligned with Army vehicle modernization goals. Twigg’s primary NAICS focus includes 333517 (Machine Tool Manufacturing), 334111 (Electronic Computer Manufacturing), and 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing), indicating a technical emphasis on precision components, embedded computing systems, and test instrumentation critical to vehicle diagnostics and performance validation. Her work demands expertise in defense-specific standards, including MIL-SPEC compliance and ruggedized electronics integration for harsh operational environments.
