Andrew S. McClain serves as the primary contracting representative for U.S. Transportation Command (USTransCom), overseeing the acquisition of critical global mobility support services essential to DoD expeditionary logistics. In this role, he manages the procurement of transportation infrastructure, port and terminal operations, and air/land/rail logistics enablers that ensure rapid deployment and sustainment of military forces worldwide. His responsibilities include developing and executing complex contract vehicles aligned with USTransCom’s strategic mission to maintain seamless, multi-domain mobility across theater operations.

His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 488999 (All Other Support Activities for Transportation), which constitutes half of his portfolio, followed by NAICS 488510 (Freight Transportation Arrangement) and NAICS 493110 (General Warehousing and Storage).
