Talon D. Urick

Talon D. Urick serves as a key procurement lead within the W7NK Uspfo Activity Mtang 120, a Department of the Army unit responsible for sustaining and modernizing critical military infrastructure and aviation support systems. In this role, Urick manages the acquisition of specialized equipment and construction services essential to airfield integrity, utility systems, and mission-critical hardware. Their procurement activities center on ensuring operational readiness through timely delivery of technical solutions that align with Army modernization priorities, including systems integration, facility maintenance, and aviation infrastructure upgrades. Urick maintains consistent contracting relationships with a core group of vendors including PARLIAMENT LLC, Liberty Communications, Inc., and FED GEAR LLC, reflecting a preference for established contractors with proven expertise in communications equipment, defense-grade infrastructure, and logistics support systems. These partnerships are characterized by repeat engagements and technical alignment with the agency’s focus on aviation-enabled operations, indicating a trust-based, performance-driven contracting approach that prioritizes reliability and compliance with military specifications. While nearly half of Urick’s acquisitions are set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5, the portfolio also includes a balanced mix of open competitions, demonstrating a pragmatic approach to small business participation without compromising mission requirements. The emphasis on Total Small Business Set-Asides underscores a deliberate commitment to fostering vendor diversity and expanding the defense industrial base through inclusive contracting practices. Urick’s procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 334290 (Other Communications Equipment Manufacturing) and 333120 (Construction Machinery Manufacturing), with additional activity in plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning contracting (238220) and heavy civil infrastructure (237310). This reflects deep technical expertise in procuring aviation-support systems, field-deployable utility equipment, and installation-grade construction services tailored to austere and high-readiness environments.
