Caleb Higgerson

Caleb Higgerson serves as a key procurement professional within the U.S. Transportation Command (USTransCom), supporting the agency’s global mobility mission through the acquisition of critical logistics and transportation services. He manages a portfolio focused on expeditionary logistics, port and terminal operations, and airfield support capabilities essential to military deployment and sustainment. His acquisitions primarily involve marine cargo handling, airport operations, and specialized equipment maintenance, ensuring the seamless movement of personnel and materiel across air, sea, and land domains. Higgerson’s work directly enables theater access and operational readiness by securing reliable, mission-critical infrastructure support services. Higgerson maintains consistent contracting relationships with a select group of specialized vendors, including UNCOMN LLC, PHOENIX AIR GROUP, INC., RAMPART AVIATION, LLC, FANCIULLI EGISTO S.R.L., and MOUNTAIN AVIATION, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced contractors with proven capabilities in military logistics, aviation support, and cargo handling operations. His procurement patterns emphasize performance-based contracts with stringent operational requirements, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in reliability, compliance, and expeditionary adaptability. His contracting approach is overwhelmingly non-set-aside, with 97.4% of awards issued under full and open competition, reflecting the specialized nature of the services required and the limited pool of qualified providers. Only 2.6% of awards are designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a strategic focus on capability over socioeconomic preference, though small business participation remains a recognized component when market conditions permit. Higgerson’s procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 488320 (Marine Cargo Handling), which accounts for 86.8% of activity, followed by NAICS 488119 (Other Airport Operations) and NAICS 811310 (Commercial and Industrial Machinery Repair). He specializes in acquiring services related to containerized cargo handling, ramp operations, aircraft ground support, and heavy equipment maintenance—technical domains requiring deep expertise in DoD logistics standards and global port interoperability.
