Rising Oris

Rising Oris serves as a Contract Specialist at the W4GG Hq US Army Tacom, responsible for managing the acquisition lifecycle of critical ground vehicle systems and ordnance components under the Department of the Army. In this role, Oris executes complex contracting actions for sustainment, modernization, and lifecycle support of armored and tactical wheeled platforms, ensuring alignment with Army readiness objectives. Their work spans the full spectrum of procurement activities—from solicitation and evaluation to contract award and administration—focusing on technical domains including vehicle electronics, structural components, and specialized manufacturing for combat systems. Oris plays a pivotal role in translating operational requirements into enforceable contractual deliverables that meet stringent military performance and reliability standards. Oris maintains established relationships with key contractors including Schutt Industries, VAREC NV, ONTIC ENGINEERING & MANUFACTURING, INC, A&M AEROSTRUCTURES, INC., and BOWHEAD AVIONICS MANUFACTURING, LLC. These partnerships reflect a consistent focus on mid-to-large tier vendors with proven capabilities in defense-grade manufacturing, avionics integration, and tactical system sustainment. The contracting patterns indicate a preference for experienced suppliers with established quality systems, ISO certifications, and prior DoD contract performance, fostering reliable, long-term vendor collaboration grounded in technical compliance and supply chain resilience. While the majority of acquisitions are conducted as unrestricted procurements, Oris consistently allocates approximately 30% of contract opportunities to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to expanding small business participation within the defense industrial base. There is no evidence of preferential use of 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, suggesting a strategic emphasis on broad-based small business engagement rather than targeted socioeconomic programs. Oris specializes in procurements governed by NAICS codes 332994 (ordnance accessories), 339999 (miscellaneous manufacturing), and 336320 (motor vehicle electronics), reflecting deep expertise in sourcing specialized components for armored vehicle systems. Their portfolio includes fabricated metal parts, electronic control units, tactical communication hardware, and precision-engineered subsystems essential to vehicle survivability and mobility, underscoring a technical proficiency in defense manufacturing and systems integration.
