Trisha DeMartino

Trisha DeMartino 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 platforms, armored vehicle components, and associated ordnance systems, ensuring technical readiness and operational superiority through integrated logistics and engineering support. Her work spans the full spectrum of defense acquisition phases, from requirements validation to contract award and performance oversight, with a strong emphasis on sustainment and fielded system modernization. DeMartino maintains consistent contracting relationships with specialized industrial partners including Schutt Industries, VAREC NV, ONTIC ENGINEERING & MANUFACTURING, INC, A&M AEROSTRUCTURES, INC., and BOWHEAD AVIONICS MANUFACTURING, LLC. These vendors provide critical components ranging from structural armor and vehicle subsystems to avionics integration and mission-critical mechanical assemblies. Her procurement approach favors established defense contractors with proven capabilities in ruggedized manufacturing and military-grade engineering, often leveraging long-term strategic partnerships to ensure supply chain resilience and technical continuity. While the majority of her acquisitions—approximately 90%—are conducted without set-asides, she maintains a deliberate and measurable commitment to small business participation, with nearly 10% of awards directed under Total Small Business Set-Aside authorities. This reflects a balanced strategy that prioritizes mission-critical capability delivery while actively fostering competition among qualified small businesses in the defense industrial base. Her procurement portfolio is heavily concentrated in NAICS 333120 (Construction Machinery Manufacturing) and 333924 (Industrial Truck and Tractor Machinery Manufacturing), indicating deep expertise in procuring heavy-duty vehicle chassis, drivetrain systems, and mobility platforms. She also routinely sources specialized components such as fasteners, cutting tools, and industrial maintenance services, demonstrating a broad technical understanding of ground vehicle systems and their supporting supply chain.
