Craig Singleton

Craig Singleton serves as the primary procurement lead for the Medical Supply Chain Fsh under the Department of Defense’s DLA Troop Support, responsible for managing the acquisition of critical medical and surgical supplies essential to global military readiness. He oversees the end-to-end contracting lifecycle for sterile surgical instruments, sterilization equipment, patient hygiene systems, and specialized field hospital devices, ensuring compliance with Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) standards and operational readiness requirements. His role is central to sustaining the medical logistics pipeline that supports deployed forces, combat support hospitals, and expeditionary medical units worldwide. While specific contractor names are not available, Singleton maintains a diverse vendor ecosystem spanning manufacturers, wholesale distributors, and specialty suppliers of medical-grade equipment. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for direct manufacturer engagement to ensure traceability and quality control, particularly for sterile and implantable devices, alongside strategic partnerships with merchant wholesalers who provide just-in-time inventory solutions for high-turnover medical consumables. He consistently prioritizes supply chain resilience and dual-sourcing strategies to mitigate single-point failures in critical medical logistics. Singleton demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with nearly 26% of his portfolio allocated to small business set-asides, including 18.6% designated for Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 and 7.0% reserved for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB). His procurement strategy actively encourages participation from certified small businesses while maintaining compliance with mandatory small business goals set by DLA Troop Support. His technical focus centers on NAICS 339113 for surgical appliance manufacturing and 331313 for aluminum-based medical components, reflecting deep expertise in high-precision medical device production and material-specific procurement. He also frequently procures from NAICS 423450 for medical equipment wholesale distribution and NAICS 334515 for diagnostic and monitoring instrumentation, demonstrating specialized knowledge in both clinical device engineering and supply chain logistics for austere environments.
