Cassandra A. Range

Cassandra A. Range serves as a secondary procurement liaison within U.S. Transportation Command (USTransCom), supporting the agency’s global mobility mission by facilitating the acquisition of critical logistics and transportation services. Her role involves coordinating contract execution for expeditionary logistics, port operations, and rapid deployment support, ensuring alignment with DoD mobility requirements across air, sea, land, and rail domains. She primarily handles performance-based service contracts for marine cargo handling, rail support, and freight transportation arrangements, working closely with contracting officers to meet operational tempo and theater access objectives. Range maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized contractors, including UNCOMN LLC, PHOENIX AIR GROUP, INC., RAMPART AVIATION, LLC, FANCIULLI EGISTO S.R.L., and MOUNTAIN AVIATION, LLC. These vendors provide niche capabilities in expeditionary cargo handling, aircraft-based logistics support, and international freight coordination, reflecting a preference for experienced, domain-specific service providers with proven global operational track records. Her procurement patterns emphasize reliability, scalability, and rapid response capacity over broad-based competition. Her contracting approach reflects a strong emphasis on open competition, with 89.4% of acquisitions issued without set-aside restrictions. While small business participation is present at 10.6%, it is primarily driven through Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 rather than targeted 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, indicating a focus on capability over socioeconomic categorization. Range’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 488320 (Marine Cargo Handling), which accounts for over 84% of her activity, followed by rail support and freight arrangement services. She specializes in procuring terminal operations, cargo loading/unloading systems, and expeditionary logistics enablers essential for port throughput and theater sustainment, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with military logistics infrastructure and global supply chain dynamics.
