Shane Strehler

Shane C. Strehler 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 the Army. Responsible for managing complex acquisition programs, he oversees contracts for armored vehicle components, tactical wheeled platforms, and integrated avionics systems critical to force readiness. His work directly enables the Army’s strategic priorities in vehicle survivability, mobility, and power efficiency, coordinating with engineering and logistics teams to align procurement with technical requirements and field operational needs. He routinely handles sole-source and competitive acquisitions for mission-critical defense systems requiring stringent compliance with military specifications. Strehler maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized 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-precision manufacturing, structural components, and embedded avionics for military ground vehicles. His contracting approach emphasizes long-term supplier collaboration, technical alignment, and supply chain resilience, often engaging vendors with proven expertise in defense-grade fabrication and systems integration. Strehler’s procurement portfolio exhibits no set-aside preferences, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a mission-driven emphasis on technical capability and performance over socioeconomic classifications, prioritizing the most qualified vendors regardless of business size or certification status. While small business participation is not formally targeted, the nature of the acquisitions often naturally involves specialized small firms with niche technical capabilities. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336212 (Truck Trailer Manufacturing) and NAICS 511130 (Software Publishers), indicating a dual emphasis on physical vehicle subsystems and mission-critical software systems for vehicle diagnostics, command and control, and embedded battlefield networks. His domain expertise spans armored vehicle integration, electronic architecture, and logistics-enabled manufacturing for next-generation tactical platforms.
