Melissa Wejroch

Melissa A. Wejroch serves as a Contract Specialist at the U.S. Army Tank-Automotive and Armaments Command (TACOM), where she plays a pivotal role in executing acquisition strategies for ground combat and support vehicle systems. Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions—from solicitation and source selection to contract award and administration—for critical military platforms, including armored vehicles and tactical wheeled systems. She ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning contracting actions with TACOM’s mission to sustain and modernize the Army’s land warfare capabilities, emphasizing survivability, mobility, and power efficiency in vehicle systems. Wejroch maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors such as Schutt Industries, ONTIC Engineering & Manufacturing, A&M Aerostuctures, and Bowhead Avionics Manufacturing, all of which provide specialized components and integrated systems for military vehicle platforms. Her procurement approach reflects a preference for established vendors with proven technical expertise in defense-grade manufacturing, particularly in structural assemblies, avionics integration, and vehicle subsystems. These partnerships are characterized by long-term collaboration, technical alignment, and adherence to stringent military specifications. Her contracting patterns reflect a strong commitment to small business participation, with 40% of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for qualified small businesses in the defense industrial base. While the majority of her actions are unrestricted, she actively prioritizes socioeconomic programs to foster innovation and resilience within the supply chain. Wejroch’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336212 (Truck Trailer Manufacturing) and 336991 (Motorcycle, Bicycle, and Parts Manufacturing), reflecting her specialization in tactical wheeled vehicle platforms and associated subsystems. Her technical domain expertise spans vehicle chassis design, modular armor integration, and powertrain components, positioning her as a key liaison between engineering requirements and industrial production capabilities.
