Tamara T. Trigg

Tamara T. Trigg serves as a Contracting Noncommissioned Officer within the 0408 Aq Hq Contract organization under the Department of the Army, playing a pivotal role in executing mission-critical procurements that enhance battlefield communications, installation security, and expeditionary infrastructure. She manages the full lifecycle of defense-related contracts, from requirements validation and market research through solicitation, evaluation, award, and contract administration. Her acquisitions primarily support the development and fielding of advanced wireless communications systems, surveillance technologies, and ruggedized military-grade equipment, ensuring operational readiness across deployed and garrisoned units. Trigg operates within a high-stakes, time-sensitive environment where procurement decisions directly impact force protection and mission success. Trigg collaborates with a diverse range of defense contractors specializing in radio and wireless communications, precision instrumentation, and structural metal fabrication. While no single vendor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with mid-tier manufacturers and niche suppliers capable of meeting stringent military specifications such as MIL-STD and ITAR requirements. Her working relationships are characterized by technical rigor, compliance adherence, and a focus on performance-based outcomes, fostering partnerships with vendors who demonstrate agility, quality control, and proven track records in defense environments. Trigg’s contracting portfolio reflects a strong preference for unrestricted competition, with 100% of her acquisitions issued as No Set-Aside actions. This reflects a mission-driven emphasis on technical capability and rapid delivery over socioeconomic targeting, though she remains attentive to small business participation when it aligns with performance needs. Her approach prioritizes competitive fairness and readiness over mandated set-asides, ensuring the most capable providers are selected regardless of business size or certification status. Her primary procurement focus lies within NAICS 334220 (radio and wireless communications equipment manufacturing), 334519 (other measuring and controlling device manufacturing), 339920 (sporting and athletic goods manufacturing), and 332312 (fabricated structural metal manufacturing). These categories encompass ruggedized radios, tactical sensors, protective gear, and expeditionary structural components—products engineered for extreme environments and interoperable with Army network-centric systems. Trigg’s technical expertise spans electromagnetic spectrum management, signal integrity, and ruggedized design standards, making her a key enabler of modernized, networked warfare capabilities.
