Tejae Craig

Tejae Craig serves as a Contract Specialist within the W6QM Micc-Yuma Proving Ground, a critical component of the Department of the Army focused on advanced military testing and operational readiness. In this role, Craig manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for specialized engineering and technical services essential to sustaining aerospace, battlefield, and communication test systems. Their responsibilities include developing solicitation documents, evaluating proposals, negotiating contract terms, and ensuring compliance with FAR and DFARS regulations. Craig’s acquisitions primarily support mission-critical instrumentation, maintenance of test facilities, and technical support services that ensure the reliability of defense system evaluations under extreme environmental conditions. Craig maintains a strong working relationship with TRAX INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION, a primary contractor providing integrated test and evaluation support, logistics, and engineering services. The relationship reflects a pattern of sustained, performance-based contract execution, with recurring task orders for complex technical operations. While TRAX remains the dominant partner, Craig actively engages with a diverse vendor base to ensure technical innovation and operational continuity across multiple domains. Set-aside preferences are predominantly non-set-aside, accounting for 80% of awards, with 20% allocated to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a balanced approach—prioritizing mission-critical capability delivery while maintaining meaningful opportunities for small businesses. Craig does not frequently utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, indicating a focus on technical merit and capacity over socioeconomic targeting, though small business participation remains a structured component of the acquisition strategy. The procurement portfolio is heavily concentrated in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), supporting systems integration and test instrumentation, followed by NAICS 561210 (Facilities Support Services) for maintenance of proving ground infrastructure. Notably, niche categories such as 811310 (Commercial and Industrial Machinery Repair) and 311991 (Perishable Prepared Food Manufacturing) appear in support of on-site operational sustainment, reflecting the unique, mission-embedded nature of the proving ground’s logistics and personnel needs. Craig’s expertise lies in procuring highly technical, mission-critical services that ensure the integrity of defense system evaluations.
