James E Kliewer

James E. Kliewer serves as a key procurement professional within the FA5000 673 Cons Lgc under the Department of the Air Force, supporting the sustainment and modernization of critical military infrastructure. He manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on facility services, specialized equipment, and operational support systems essential to Air Force mission readiness. His responsibilities include soliciting, evaluating, and awarding contracts for construction-related services, environmental remediation, medical and electrotherapeutic devices, and facility maintenance solutions, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-driven requirements. Kliewer maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of contractors including GIGABITER LLC, VINDICATOR TECHNOLOGIES, INC., YUKON EQUIPMENT, INC., and GLOBAL FINISHING SOLUTIONS LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven capabilities in niche technical domains such as advanced facility systems, specialized equipment integration, and industrial finishing solutions. His contracting approach emphasizes reliability, technical proficiency, and performance history, fostering long-term vendor collaboration to meet complex installation needs. While the majority of his acquisitions are conducted under open competition (70%), Kliewer demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 30% of awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. He actively leverages socioeconomic programs to expand opportunities for qualified small businesses, aligning procurement strategy with broader DoD goals for inclusive contracting. His procurement focus is heavily concentrated in NAICS 337910 (Mattress Manufacturing), indicating a significant requirement for institutional bedding systems across Air Force housing and medical facilities. Additional emphasis on NAICS 334220 (communications equipment), 324191 (lubricants and greases), and 711219 (spectator sports) suggests unique operational and recreational support needs at military installations, reflecting a specialized, mission-tailored acquisition profile.
