James Boughner

James Boughner serves as a Contracting Officer at the Naval Medical Logistics Command (N62645), where he plays a pivotal role in securing critical medical logistics capabilities for U.S. Navy and Marine Corps forces worldwide. Responsible for the full lifecycle acquisition of medical equipment and life-sustaining supplies, Boughner ensures alignment with DoD readiness objectives, particularly in point-of-care diagnostics, combat casualty care systems, and preventive medicine infrastructure. His acquisitions span complex, high-stakes procurements under FAR Part 13 and Part 15, often involving technical specifications for field-deployable medical devices and diagnostic platforms requiring stringent military compliance and supply chain resilience. While specific contractor names are not publicly enumerated, Boughner maintains a dynamic portfolio of vendor partnerships characterized by long-term strategic engagements with firms capable of delivering ruggedized medical technology, rapid-response logistics support, and clinical supply chain sustainment. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, risk mitigation, and vendor accountability under firm-fixed-price and cost-reimbursement contract types, fostering collaboration with industry to meet operational tempo demands in austere environments. Boughner demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with approximately 66.7% of his acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to cultivate a robust base of capable small vendors, including 8(a), HUBZone, and SDVOSB firms, to enhance innovation and supply chain diversity within the medical logistics ecosystem. His socioeconomic contracting patterns prioritize inclusive competition while maintaining mission-critical performance standards. His procurement focus is exclusively aligned with NAICS 622110 (General Medical and Surgical Hospitals), reflecting a deep specialization in procuring hospital-grade medical equipment, diagnostic imaging systems, clinical monitoring tools, and consumable medical supplies essential for forward-deployed and fixed medical treatment facilities. Boughner’s expertise lies in translating clinical requirements into technically sound solicitations that ensure interoperability, regulatory compliance, and operational readiness across global theaters.
