Michael Alsip

Michael Alsip 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 under the Department of Defense. He manages a portfolio of acquisitions centered on ordnance systems, armored vehicle components, and tactical equipment, ensuring alignment with the Army’s strategic priorities in survivability, mobility, and power efficiency. His work directly enables field readiness by facilitating the timely acquisition of mission-critical hardware and engineering services through full and open competition and targeted small business set-asides. Alsip maintains consistent relationships with specialized defense 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-integrity manufacturing of ordnance components, structural assemblies, and avionics systems tailored to military vehicle platforms. His contracting approach emphasizes technical precision, supply chain resilience, and long-term sustainment support, often requiring compliance with stringent MIL-SPEC and defense logistics standards. His procurement patterns show a strong preference for Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, with nearly 42% of awards reserved for small businesses, indicating a deliberate commitment to expanding industry participation among qualified vendors. While no specific socioeconomic categories are dominant, his consistent use of small business set-asides underscores a strategic effort to cultivate a diverse, capable supplier base aligned with Army modernization goals. Alsip’s acquisitions are heavily concentrated in NAICS 332994 (Small Arms, Ordnance, and Ordnance Accessories Manufacturing), with significant activity also in 336992 (Military Armored Vehicle Manufacturing) and 334220 (Radio and Wireless Communications Equipment). This reflects deep expertise in procuring ballistic protection systems, ammunition handling components, and integrated vehicle electronics—technical domains critical to maintaining the operational edge of U.S. armored fleets.
