Tori Coon

Tori Coon 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. Responsible for executing complex acquisition strategies, Coon manages contracts for advanced engineering, manufacturing, and logistics services critical to maintaining the Army’s tactical vehicle fleet. Their work spans the full spectrum of defense acquisition phases—from requirements validation to contract award and performance oversight—ensuring alignment with Army modernization priorities such as vehicle survivability, mobility, and power efficiency. Coon routinely handles high-stakes, technically demanding procurements involving specialized defense systems and integrated sustainment solutions. Coon maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of Tier 1 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 niche capabilities in armored vehicle components, avionics integration, structural assemblies, and mission-critical maintenance systems. The contracting patterns indicate a preference for established vendors with proven expertise in military-grade manufacturing and systems integration, often requiring compliance with stringent MIL-STD and ITAR regulations. Coon’s procurement portfolio demonstrates a balanced approach to socioeconomic contracting, with nearly half of all awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. While the majority of contracts are unrestricted, the consistent use of small business set-asides signals a deliberate commitment to expanding opportunities for qualified small businesses in the defense industrial base, particularly those with specialized engineering and manufacturing capabilities. The primary technical domains of Coon’s acquisitions center on NAICS 511210 (Software Publishers), reflecting heavy investment in vehicle system software and embedded controls, alongside NAICS 336411 (Aircraft Manufacturing) for avionics and mission systems integration. Additional focus areas include painting and wall covering contractors for protective coatings and custom computer programming services for logistics and maintenance software platforms, underscoring a multidisciplinary approach to sustaining next-generation ground vehicle systems.
