CODY TSgt SHUMAKER

Cody Shumaker serves as a key procurement specialist within the Department of the Air Force’s FA5025 356 ECEG PK unit, supporting critical non-combat infrastructure operations across expeditionary and remote Pacific locations. Responsible for managing acquisitions that sustain operational readiness, Shumaker oversees contracts for essential services including water and wastewater management, lodging, telecommunications, and facility maintenance. Their work ensures the uninterrupted delivery of quality-of-life and utility services vital to mission continuity in austere environments, aligning procurement activities with the agency’s strategic priorities of environmental compliance and infrastructure resilience. Shumaker maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including ATC PROCUREMENT LLC, ROY GROUP INTERNATIONAL LLC, HONG YE RENTAL & CONSTRUCTION LTD, VIAKORP CORPORATION, and MIC INDUSTRIES INC. These partnerships reflect a balanced approach to sourcing, combining established vendors with specialized service providers capable of delivering modular, mobile, and rapidly deployable solutions. The contracting patterns indicate a preference for vendors with proven experience in expeditionary logistics, equipment repair, and temporary infrastructure support, suggesting a focus on reliability, scalability, and rapid response capabilities. Shumaker’s procurement portfolio is evenly split between open competition and Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a strong institutional commitment to socioeconomic contracting. While no other set-aside categories dominate, the consistent use of small business set-asides signals a deliberate effort to foster competition among small firms capable of meeting the unit’s unique operational needs in remote and high-demand environments. The primary NAICS focus areas include passenger car rental (532111), commercial machinery repair (811310), hardware manufacturing (332510), remediation services (562910), and manufactured home manufacturing (321991). This reflects a specialized domain expertise in mobility, modular housing, equipment maintenance, and environmental compliance—critical for sustaining forward-deployed forces with limited local infrastructure.
