Tanya E.Karasavvas

Tanya Karasavvas serves as a Contract Specialist at W4GG Hq US Army Tacom, where she plays a critical role in managing the acquisition lifecycle for ground combat and support vehicle systems under the Department of the Army. She specializes in complex defense procurements involving armored vehicle modernization, tactical wheeled platform sustainment, and integrated logistics support, ensuring alignment with Army readiness objectives. Her work encompasses full-cycle contracting activities—from market research and solicitation development to award and contract administration—primarily for high-technology, mission-critical defense systems requiring stringent compliance with FAR and DFARS regulations. Karasavvas maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including Schutt Industries, VAREC NV, ONTIC ENGINEERING & MANUFACTURING, INC, A&M AEROSTRUCTURES, INC., and BOWHEAD AVIONICS MANUFACTURING, LLC. These partnerships span specialized manufacturing, avionics integration, and engineering services essential to vehicle survivability and mobility enhancements. She fosters collaborative, performance-driven vendor relationships, often engaging contractors early in the requirements definition phase to ensure technical feasibility and cost-effective solutions. While the majority of her acquisitions are conducted as no set-aside procurements, she actively supports small business participation, with approximately 10% of her portfolio allocated to Total Small Business Set-Asides and another 10% reserved for Women-Owned Small Businesses. Her contracting patterns reflect a balanced approach to leveraging industry capacity while advancing socioeconomic goals within the defense industrial base. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336992 for military armored vehicle and tank component manufacturing, complemented by significant activity in engineering services (NAICS 541330) and professional technical services (NAICS 541990). She regularly procures specialized sheet metal components (NAICS 332322) and advanced subsystems critical to the sustainment and upgrade of armored fleets, demonstrating deep expertise in land warfare systems acquisition.
