James K. Mosley

James K. Mosley serves as a Contract Specialist within the W6QK Acc-rsa under the Department of the Army, where he plays a pivotal role in acquiring mission-critical aerospace systems and technical support services essential to the Army’s aerial and missile defense modernization efforts. He manages the full lifecycle of complex procurements for avionics, propulsion components, sensor systems, and aircraft subsystems supporting platforms such as the UH-60 and AH-64 Apache. His work ensures timely delivery of high-integrity hardware and engineering services aligned with Army readiness objectives, requiring deep technical understanding of defense aerospace standards and compliance with federal acquisition regulations. Mosley maintains collaborative relationships with a diverse pool of Tier 1 and Tier 2 defense contractors specializing in precision instrument manufacturing, aircraft component fabrication, and electronic control systems. While no single vendor dominates his portfolio, he consistently engages firms with proven expertise in military-grade avionics, flight control interfaces, and signal conditioning equipment. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical validation, and supplier qualification through rigorous source selection criteria, fostering long-term partnerships with vendors capable of meeting stringent DoD quality and traceability requirements. Mosley’s procurement activities reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of his acquisitions conducted as non-set-aside procurements. He does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, instead prioritizing technical capability and production readiness over socioeconomic classifications. This approach aligns with the agency’s focus on mission-critical performance and rapid fielding of advanced systems, where specialized engineering expertise outweighs socioeconomic targeting in source selection. His primary procurement focus lies within NAICS 334513 and 334515, specializing in industrial measurement and electrical signal instrumentation, alongside 336412 and 336413 for aircraft engines and auxiliary equipment. He routinely sources flight-critical components including data acquisition units, engine control modules, and sensor arrays, demonstrating deep familiarity with MIL-STD and DO-160 technical specifications governing aerospace electronics and mechanical systems.
