Tanya R. Cabbell

Tanya Cabbell serves as a key procurement professional within the W4GG Hq US Army Tacom, supporting the lifecycle management and modernization of ground combat and support vehicle systems for the Department of the Army. She manages complex acquisition programs focused on tactical wheeled vehicles, armored platforms, and associated ordnance systems, ensuring alignment with operational readiness requirements and technological advancement goals. Her work spans the full spectrum of defense acquisition phases—from requirements validation through contract award and performance oversight—primarily handling high-value, mission-critical contracts for engineering, manufacturing, and sustainment services critical to maintaining Army vehicle fleet superiority. Cabbell maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of prime contractors including Schutt Industries, VAREC NV, ONTIC ENGINEERING & MANUFACTURING, INC, A&M AEROSTRUCTURES, INC., and BOWHEAD AVIONICS MANUFACTURING, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established industrial base partners with proven capabilities in vehicle chassis fabrication, armored compartment integration, avionics system integration, and specialized ordnance component manufacturing. Her contracting approach emphasizes technical proficiency, supply chain reliability, and long-term sustainment support, fostering collaborative relationships built on performance history and compliance with military specifications. Her procurement portfolio is overwhelmingly dominated by non-set-aside acquisitions, with 94.1% of awards issued under full and open competition, reflecting a mission-first prioritization of technical capability over socioeconomic preferences. Only 5.9% of awards are structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a targeted but limited emphasis on small business participation, typically reserved for niche technical domains where qualified small firms exist. Cabbell’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336120 (Heavy Duty Truck Manufacturing), which accounts for over 60% of her activity, alongside significant engagement in 336112 (Military Vehicle Manufacturing), 332994 (Ordnance Accessories), and 335312 (Motor and Generator Manufacturing). Her technical domain expertise centers on integrated vehicle systems, survivability enhancements, powertrain modernization, and tactical mobility platforms, requiring deep familiarity with military standards such as MIL-STD and SAE J1939.
