Tommy J. King

Tommy J. King 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 Defense. He is responsible for executing complex acquisition strategies for armored vehicle platforms, tactical wheeled systems, and critical component manufacturing, ensuring operational readiness through timely and technically sound contracting actions. His work directly enables the Army’s mission to sustain and enhance the survivability, mobility, and power efficiency of frontline ground systems, overseeing contracts from requirements definition through contract award and performance oversight. King maintains established working relationships with specialized defense contractors including Schutt Industries, VAREC NV, ONTIC ENGINEERING & MANUFACTURING, INC, A&M AEROSTRUCTURES, INC., and BOWHEAD AVIONICS MANUFACTURING, LLC. These partnerships reflect a focus on high-integrity suppliers with proven expertise in military-grade vehicle fabrication, armor integration, avionics systems, and specialized component manufacturing. His contracting approach prioritizes technical capability and supply chain reliability, often engaging long-term vendors with demonstrated experience in Department of Defense compliance and production scalability. King’s procurement portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition, indicating a strategic emphasis on technical merit and industrial capacity over socioeconomic classifications. While small business participation is not formally incentivized through set-asides, his contracting actions remain aligned with broader DoD goals for competitive sourcing and performance-driven vendor selection. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336992 (Military Armored Vehicle, Tank, and Tank Component Manufacturing), accounting for two-thirds of his activity, alongside NAICS 336390 (Other Motor Vehicle Parts Manufacturing). He routinely acquires armored hulls, suspension systems, powertrain components, and integrated survivability modules, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with military vehicle engineering standards and materiel sustainment requirements.
