Shannon Zemke

Shannon Zemke serves as a Contract Specialist at the W4GG Hq US Army Tacom, responsible for managing the full lifecycle of acquisition contracts supporting the modernization and sustainment of ground combat and tactical wheeled vehicle systems. She plays a critical role in executing the agency’s mission to ensure technological superiority and operational readiness of armored and support platforms through disciplined acquisition planning, source selection, and contract administration. Her portfolio primarily encompasses engineering services and specialized technical training contracts aligned with vehicle systems integration, survivability enhancements, and logistics modernization. Zemke maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including Schutt Industries of Clintonville, ONTIC Engineering & Manufacturing, A&M Aerostuctures, and Bowhead Avionics Manufacturing, all of which provide high-precision manufacturing, avionics integration, and engineered components critical to armored vehicle systems. Her procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in technical capability, quality assurance, and compliance with military specifications, fostering reliable supply chain resilience for mission-critical platforms. Zemke’s contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on accessing the broadest possible industrial base to meet complex technical requirements, prioritizing technical merit and performance capability over socioeconomic preferences. While small business participation is not formally targeted through set-asides, she ensures fair opportunity for all qualified vendors through transparent solicitation practices and rigorous evaluation criteria. Her primary NAICS focus areas are 541330 (Engineering Services) and 611420 (Computer Training), underscoring her specialization in technical systems engineering, vehicle diagnostics integration, and workforce development for armored platform maintenance. She procures advanced engineering analyses, simulation tools, and mission-specific training curricula that directly support the sustainment of next-generation tactical vehicles and their embedded electronic systems.
