Tyler J. Wonsowicz

Tyler J. Wonsowicz serves as a Contract Specialist at the U.S. Army TACOM Headquarters, where he plays a critical role in managing the acquisition lifecycle for ground combat and support vehicle systems. Responsible for soliciting, evaluating, and awarding contracts in support of armored vehicle modernization and sustainment, Wonsowicz ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with the agency’s mission of enhancing vehicle survivability, mobility, and power efficiency. His portfolio includes complex technical acquisitions spanning mechanical systems, avionics integration, and specialized manufacturing, requiring deep coordination with engineering and logistics teams to meet operational readiness objectives. Wonsowicz maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including Schutt Industries of Clintonville, ONTIC Engineering & Manufacturing, A&M Aerostuctures, and Bowhead Avionics Manufacturing, LLC. These partnerships reflect a focus on high-precision manufacturing and defense-grade system integration, particularly for armored vehicle components and mission-critical subsystems. His procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, performance-based contracting, and technical validation to ensure compliance with military specifications and sustainment requirements. Wonsowicz demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 40% of his awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and an additional 5% allocated to 8(a) competed contracts. While the majority of acquisitions remain open to all competitors, his consistent use of socioeconomic set-asides underscores a strategic emphasis on expanding the defense industrial base through inclusive contracting practices. His primary procurement focus centers on NAICS codes related to specialized manufacturing, including overhead crane systems (333923), machine tool manufacturing (333517), and elevator and moving stairway manufacturing (333921), reflecting the agency’s need for robust material handling and facility infrastructure to support vehicle maintenance and modernization. He also manages acquisitions in commercial building construction (236220) to support sustainment facilities, demonstrating expertise in both hardware and infrastructure domains critical to ground force readiness.
