James E. Shuman

Jim Shuman serves as a key procurement lead within the W6QM Micc-ft Stewart office under the Department of the Army, overseeing the acquisition of mission-critical infrastructure and facilities support services essential to sustaining Army installations and training environments. He manages a diverse portfolio of contracts spanning construction, maintenance, and institutional services, with a focus on commercial and heavy civil infrastructure including electrical systems, roofing, plumbing, and septic operations. His work directly enables operational readiness by ensuring that military bases maintain functional, safe, and compliant facilities through timely and compliant contracting actions. Shuman maintains a consistent working relationship with X CELL MANAGEMENT INC as a primary contractor, reflecting a trusted partnership in the delivery of specialized facilities support and infrastructure services. His contracting patterns indicate a preference for established vendors with proven performance in military environmental and construction domains, while also engaging a broad base of small business providers. His approach balances reliability with competitive responsiveness, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in performance metrics and regulatory compliance. His procurement strategy reflects a nearly equal split between total small business set-asides and no set-aside actions, with a notable 5.9% dedicated to service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSB), signaling a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic programs under FAR 19.5. This balanced approach ensures broad vendor participation while maintaining flexibility for mission-critical requirements that may necessitate non-set-aside awards. Shuman’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 562991 (Septic Tank and Related Services), reflecting the agency’s emphasis on environmental and sanitation infrastructure, complemented by significant activity in facilities support services (561210), electrical contracting (238210), and other building equipment installations (238290). His expertise spans technical domains requiring compliance with military construction standards, environmental regulations, and DoD facility sustainment protocols, positioning him as a specialist in mission-enabling, non-combat infrastructure procurement.
