James K. Taylor

James K. Taylor serves as Recycle Center Supervisor at the W7NH Uspfo Activity Ms Arng, a critical support element within the Department of the Army’s infrastructure and logistics framework. In this role, he oversees the operational management of recycling and material recovery operations at Mississippi National Guard installations, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations and military sustainability directives. His procurement responsibilities center on acquiring recyclable materials, processing equipment, and logistics services essential to maintaining efficient waste diversion and resource recovery programs. Taylor’s acquisitions directly support the agency’s mission of sustaining force readiness through environmentally responsible base operations, making him a key liaison between field operations and supply chain management for recycled material streams. Taylor’s primary contractor relationships are with specialized recyclable material wholesalers and niche service providers, including DEPARTMENT OF REHABILITATION S, SPOTTING LIES, INC., and LEAPS TRAINING LLC. These partnerships reflect a focus on vendors with expertise in material handling, workforce training for recycling operations, and compliance-driven waste management solutions. His procurement patterns indicate a preference for established, technically proficient suppliers capable of delivering consistent, regulated material flows rather than broad-service contractors. Relationships are characterized by repeat engagement and performance-based contract execution, with an emphasis on reliability and adherence to federal environmental standards. Taylor’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of acquisitions conducted under open competition without preference for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic categories. This reflects a mission-driven prioritization of technical capability and material suitability over socioeconomic targeting, consistent with the specialized nature of recyclable material procurement in military logistics. His procurement focus is exclusively under NAICS 423930—Recyclable Material Merchant Wholesalers—indicating deep specialization in the acquisition of post-consumer and post-industrial recyclables, including metals, plastics, paper, and electronic waste streams. Taylor’s expertise lies in sourcing compliant, high-purity materials for reuse in military and civilian recycling networks, demonstrating technical fluency in material classification, contamination thresholds, and federal recycling mandates.
