CPT Colin Simpson

CPT Colin Simpson serves as a key procurement lead within the W7NB Uspfo Activity La Arng (W912NR), supporting the operational readiness of Louisiana National Guard units through mission-critical logistical and administrative acquisitions. Responsible for managing contracts that ensure force sustainment, he oversees the acquisition of quality-of-life services—including dining, lodging, laundry, and facility maintenance—as well as specialized communications and training equipment. His role is central to the agency’s mission of maintaining unit readiness through efficient, compliant, and responsive contracting, ensuring that critical support functions are delivered in alignment with Army regulatory standards and operational timelines. CPT Simpson maintains consistent partnerships with a focused cohort of vendors, including PHOENIX PRODIGY CONSULTING FIRM LLC for IT infrastructure support, OLD ARABI CAFE, LLC for catering services, ARABIC INTERPRETERS LLC for language support, CONTEMPORARY PRODUCT SOLUTIONS, INC for technical equipment, and TITAN SPECIALIZED SERVICES INC for specialized operational services. These relationships reflect a pattern of engaging niche, locally rooted, and mission-aligned contractors capable of delivering tailored solutions under dynamic field conditions. His procurement approach emphasizes reliability, cultural competency, and rapid response capability, often prioritizing vendors with proven experience in military and emergency support environments. CPT Simpson demonstrates a full commitment to small business participation, with 100% of his acquisitions structured as small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize economic opportunity for small, disadvantaged, and community-based enterprises, ensuring that contracting resources directly benefit the regional economy and foster long-term vendor capacity within the National Guard support ecosystem. His technical focus lies primarily in NAICS 518210 for computing infrastructure and data services, and 334511 for search, detection, and navigation systems. He regularly procures secure communications platforms, data hosting solutions, and specialized military-grade instrumentation, demonstrating expertise in integrating commercial-off-the-shelf technologies into field-deployable, secure, and resilient operational environments.
