James Lecollier

James D. Lecollier serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing federal acquisitions in the food manufacturing and cold storage sectors. He plays a critical role in executing procurement strategies that align with federal acquisition regulations, ensuring timely and compliant delivery of essential goods. His portfolio primarily involves sealed bidding and negotiated contracts under FAR Part 12 for commercial items, with a focus on ready-to-eat food products, refrigerated warehousing, and specialty food processing. Lecollier’s work supports mission-critical supply chains requiring strict adherence to food safety, shelf-life, and temperature control standards. While specific contractor names are not publicly available, Lecollier maintains consistent working relationships with a diverse base of vendors, including both large-scale food manufacturers and specialized small businesses. His procurement approach emphasizes competitive solicitation, clear performance metrics, and rigorous contract administration to ensure product integrity and delivery reliability. He frequently engages with suppliers possessing GSA Schedule contracts and ISO-certified manufacturing facilities to streamline acquisition processes and mitigate supply chain risk. Lecollier demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 36.4% of his awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. His contracting patterns reflect a deliberate preference for small business opportunities over other socioeconomic categories, with no current use of 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides. This focus enables him to foster growth among small food producers and warehouse operators while maintaining compliance with statutory small business goals. His primary procurement activity centers on NAICS 311422 (Specialty Canning), followed by refrigerated warehousing (493120) and commercial baking (311812). He routinely acquires canned fruits and vegetables, baked goods, and temperature-controlled storage services, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with food processing standards, cold chain logistics, and FDA compliance requirements. His expertise ensures the reliable procurement of perishable and shelf-stable food products for federal operations.
