James E Randolph

James E. Randolph serves as a Contract Administrator within the FA4690 28 Cons Pkc, a Department of the Air Force organization responsible for sustaining critical Air Force infrastructure and operational readiness. In this role, he manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for specialized maintenance, security, and technical services essential to facility and equipment sustainment. His acquisitions focus on industrial repair, environmental control systems, communications hardware, and facility support services, ensuring compliance with federal contracting regulations and mission-critical performance standards. Randolph plays a pivotal role in aligning procurement strategy with the agency’s operational priorities to maintain readiness across Air Force installations. He maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including Ostrom Painting & Sandblasting, Inc., and Astronics Test Systems Inc., reflecting a preference for specialized vendors with proven technical capabilities in industrial surface treatment and test equipment services. His contracting patterns indicate a reliance on established vendors with niche expertise, often awarded through competitive sealed bidding or limited source justifications. These partnerships suggest a focus on quality assurance, technical compliance, and long-term service reliability over broad vendor pools. Randolph’s contracting portfolio reflects a balanced approach to socioeconomic goals, with nearly half of awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 and a notable 5.6% allocated to HUBZone firms. While half of his acquisitions remain open to all competitors, his consistent use of small business set-asides demonstrates a deliberate commitment to expanding opportunities for small, disadvantaged, and geographically targeted vendors in support of DoD socioeconomic objectives. His primary NAICS focus areas include 811490 for industrial machinery repair and maintenance, 336212 for truck trailer manufacturing, and 339920 for sporting and athletic goods manufacturing—indicating a diverse yet specialized procurement scope. Despite the apparent variance in NAICS codes, his work centers on technical services and equipment supporting facility infrastructure, logistics, and operational support systems, requiring deep domain knowledge in industrial maintenance and defense-related equipment lifecycle management.
