James E Kliewer

James E. Kliewer serves as a key procurement lead within the W7NU USPFO Activity Ohang 179, a Department of the Army unit responsible for sustaining mission-critical infrastructure and facility operations across military installations. He manages the acquisition of specialized maintenance, facility support, and technical services essential to maintaining operational readiness, with a focus on lodging, utilities, and industrial equipment repair. His portfolio includes complex service contracts requiring technical oversight and compliance with DoD facility standards, ensuring installations remain secure, functional, and habitable for personnel. Kliewer’s work directly supports the agency’s mission to sustain daily operational environments through timely and compliant contracting. Kliewer collaborates with a diverse base of vendors, primarily small businesses certified under socioeconomic programs, given the agency’s 100% small business set-aside policy. While specific contractor names are not disclosed in available records, his contracting patterns reflect consistent engagement with firms specializing in facility maintenance, automotive repair, and industrial equipment services. His approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships built on performance reliability, regulatory compliance, and responsiveness to dynamic installation needs. Kliewer is deeply committed to small business participation, directing all acquisitions under the FAR 19.5 small business set-aside program. This reflects a strategic, agency-wide mandate to maximize economic opportunity for small businesses, including HUBZone, SDVOSB, and 8(a) certified firms. His contracting practices align with DoD socioeconomic goals, ensuring equitable access to federal opportunities while maintaining high standards of service delivery. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541618 (management consulting for facility operations), 811121 (automotive body and paint repair), and 811310 (commercial and industrial machinery maintenance), with secondary emphasis on computer peripheral and communications equipment manufacturing. Kliewer’s expertise centers on technical service acquisition for mission-critical infrastructure, requiring deep familiarity with DoD facility standards, maintenance protocols, and supply chain resilience for non-tactical but operationally vital systems.
