Ryan Stacey

Ryan Stacey serves as a Contracting Officer at W4GG Hq US Army Tacom, where he manages the acquisition lifecycle for critical ground combat and support vehicle systems under the Department of Defense. His role centers on ensuring the readiness and technological superiority of armored platforms, tactical wheeled vehicles, and associated ordnance systems through disciplined contract execution, risk mitigation, and lifecycle sustainment planning. Stacey routinely handles complex engineering and R&D procurements requiring technical oversight, performance-based specifications, and integration of advanced survivability and mobility technologies. He works closely with engineering, logistics, and program management teams to align contracting actions with strategic modernization priorities. Stacey maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including Schutt Industries, VAREC NV, ONTIC Engineering & Manufacturing, A&M Aerostuctures, and Bowhead Avionics Manufacturing. These partnerships span specialized manufacturing, avionics integration, structural components, and mission-critical system sustainment. His procurement approach emphasizes technical capability, quality assurance, and supply chain resilience, often engaging vendors with proven expertise in military-grade vehicle systems and defense-grade fabrication standards. These relationships reflect a preference for established defense contractors with demonstrated performance in high-reliability environments. Stacey’s contracting portfolio reflects a 100% no set-aside preference, indicating a focus on full and open competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB mechanisms, his awards still reflect a merit-based selection process grounded in technical superiority and mission-critical capability rather than socioeconomic categorization. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541712 (Research and Development in Physical and Engineering Sciences), followed by 541330 (Engineering Services) and 611519 (Technical and Trade Schools). This underscores his specialization in advanced vehicle systems development, systems engineering, and technical workforce training. He procures services and products related to vehicle survivability enhancements, power system integration, electronic architecture modernization, and combat vehicle sustainment solutions.
