James R Andrews

James R. Andrews is a procurement professional responsible for managing complex acquisition programs centered on facility infrastructure and building services. He plays a critical role in executing agency-wide contracting strategies that ensure timely delivery of mission-critical construction and maintenance services. His portfolio primarily includes competitive solicitations under the Federal Acquisition Regulation for design-build, renovation, and facility support contracts, often requiring coordination with facilities management, engineering, and environmental compliance teams to align procurement outcomes with operational needs. Andrews cultivates partnerships with a diverse range of contractors specializing in building systems and site development. He regularly engages with plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning contractors, commercial construction firms, and site preparation specialists, fostering long-term relationships with both large primes and qualified small businesses. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, clear statement of work development, and rigorous source selection criteria to ensure quality, safety, and schedule adherence across high-priority projects. His procurement patterns reflect a strong commitment to socioeconomic program participation, with nearly 43% of awards directed toward small business set-asides. HUBZone contractors receive the largest share of these efforts, followed by total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) preferences. This deliberate allocation demonstrates a strategic alignment with federal goals to expand economic opportunity for underserved communities and veteran entrepreneurs. Andrews specializes in NAICS categories tied to physical infrastructure, with primary focus on plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning contractors (238220) and commercial building construction (236220). He also routinely procures site preparation services (238910), building maintenance support (561790), and security systems integration (561621). His technical expertise lies in managing integrated facility services that require coordination between mechanical systems, structural integrity, and security protocols, ensuring compliance with building codes and federal standards across diverse operational environments.
