Michael H Weaver

Michael H. Weaver serves as a Contract Specialist at the U.S. Army TACOM Headquarters, where he plays a critical role in executing the lifecycle acquisition and sustainment of ground combat and support vehicle systems. Responsible for managing complex defense contracts under FAR and DFARS guidelines, he supports the modernization of armored vehicles, tactical wheeled platforms, and associated ordnance components. His portfolio encompasses engineering services, specialized manufacturing, and logistics support contracts essential to maintaining operational readiness and technological superiority across the Army’s fleet. Weaver’s work directly enables mission-critical capabilities through disciplined acquisition planning and risk-managed contracting. Weaver maintains established relationships with key industrial partners including Schutt Industries, ONTIC Engineering & Manufacturing, A&M Aerostuctures, and Bowhead Avionics Manufacturing, each of which provides specialized fabrication, avionics integration, and armored system components. These partnerships reflect a preference for mid-tier defense contractors with proven expertise in military-grade manufacturing and systems integration. His contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, technical compliance, and performance-based outcomes, ensuring alignment with TACOM’s sustainment and modernization objectives. A strong advocate for small business participation, Weaver consistently prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, with nearly half of his awards reserved for small businesses. He also actively supports Women-Owned Small Businesses, reflecting a deliberate socioeconomic strategy to broaden the defense industrial base. His contracting patterns demonstrate a balanced approach—favoring small business set-asides while maintaining flexibility for non-set-aside procurements to ensure technical capability and schedule integrity. Weaver’s procurement focus centers on NAICS codes including 336992 for military armored vehicle manufacturing, 332999 for miscellaneous fabricated metal products, and 335312 for motor and generator systems. He routinely procures specialized components such as vehicle powertrains, survivability enhancements, and integrated electrical systems, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with ground vehicle architecture and defense supply chain dynamics. His expertise lies at the intersection of mechanical engineering, systems integration, and defense logistics.
