Mike Daubenmeyer

Mike Daubenmeyer serves as a key procurement lead within the W4GG Hq US Army Tacom, supporting the lifecycle management and modernization of ground combat and tactical wheeled vehicle systems. He oversees acquisition activities aligned with the Department of Defense’s mission to ensure armored and support vehicle readiness, focusing on contract execution for specialized manufacturing, avionics integration, and structural components critical to survivability and mobility. His work directly enables the Army’s technical modernization priorities through end-to-end contract management of complex, mission-critical systems requiring rigorous engineering and logistics support. Daubenmeyer maintains consistent partnerships with a core group of specialized manufacturers, including Schutt Industries, ONTIC Engineering & Manufacturing, A&M Aerostuctures, and Bowhead Avionics Manufacturing. These relationships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in tactical vehicle chassis, armor systems, avionics integration, and composite structures. His contracting patterns emphasize long-term vendor collaboration, often involving technical evaluations and performance-based incentives to ensure compliance with stringent military specifications and sustainment requirements. His procurement strategy is overwhelmingly oriented toward small business participation, with 93.8% of awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate commitment to fostering capability development among small, agile manufacturers capable of delivering specialized components for armored platforms. He rarely utilizes no-set-aside contracts, reinforcing a strong socioeconomic focus that prioritizes domestic small business innovation and capacity building. The primary technical domain of his acquisitions centers on NAICS 336212 (Truck Trailer Manufacturing), encompassing tactical wheeled vehicle platforms, trailer systems, and associated modular payloads. A smaller but critical portion falls under NAICS 336110 (Automobile and Light Duty Motor Vehicle Manufacturing), supporting lighter tactical vehicles and mobility systems. His expertise lies in procuring engineered vehicle subsystems requiring compliance with MIL-STD specifications, emphasizing durability, modularity, and rapid field maintainability.
