Tonya Modlin

Tonya Modlin serves as a Contract Specialist with U.S. Army Special Operations Command (USASOC), where she plays a critical role in executing mission-critical acquisitions that support elite special operations forces. Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—with a focus on professional development training, educational support services, and specialized instructional programs that enhance tactical proficiency and doctrinal readiness. She ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning contracting strategies with USASOC’s operational priorities, often handling complex service-based contracts requiring high levels of technical and logistical coordination. Modlin maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, SOF LANDING LLC, TERRESTRIS, LLC, and STRATEGIC SOLUTIONS UNLIMITED, INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors capable of delivering tailored training solutions, mission support services, and specialized technical expertise aligned with special operations requirements. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, long-term vendor collaboration, and responsiveness to dynamic operational needs, fostering trusted relationships with firms experienced in defense and expeditionary environments. Her procurement portfolio reflects a balanced commitment to small business participation, with approximately half of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate effort to expand economic opportunity among qualified small businesses. While no single socioeconomic category dominates, her consistent use of small business set-asides underscores a strategic alignment with DoD mandates to promote competitive, inclusive contracting practices. Modlin’s primary NAICS focus areas include 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), 511210 (Publishing Industries), 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors), 532111 (Passenger Car Rental), and 112420 (Goat Farming), reflecting a broad and sometimes unconventional range of supported services. While some categories appear atypical for a special operations context, they often support infrastructure, logistics, or administrative functions critical to sustaining forward-deployed units. Her expertise lies in interpreting mission needs into precise, compliant acquisition strategies across diverse technical domains.
