James Scaperotto

James Scaperotto serves as a procurement specialist responsible for managing competitive acquisitions of critical industrial components and metal stamped parts. He plays a pivotal role in executing the agency’s acquisition strategy by ensuring timely delivery of high-precision hardware essential to operational readiness. His portfolio primarily encompasses the procurement of fasteners, rivets, washers, and metal stampings, aligning with mission-critical infrastructure and equipment maintenance needs. Scaperotto applies rigorous FAR compliance standards to evaluate technical specifications, quality assurance protocols, and delivery timelines, ensuring that all acquisitions meet stringent performance and reliability benchmarks. His contractor relationships are centered on manufacturers with proven capabilities in precision metal fabrication and industrial fastener production. He regularly engages with small and mid-sized industrial suppliers capable of meeting military-grade specifications, including those certified under AS9100 and ISO 9001. While no single vendor dominates his award history, his pattern reflects a preference for suppliers with established quality control systems and the capacity for consistent, low-volume production runs. He fosters long-term partnerships with vendors demonstrating reliability, on-time delivery, and technical responsiveness. Scaperotto exhibits a strong commitment to small business participation, with 25% of his acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. The remaining 75% are competed without set-aside restrictions, indicating a balanced approach that prioritizes competition while actively creating opportunities for small manufacturers. His contracting patterns reflect a deliberate effort to sustain a diverse supplier base within the industrial manufacturing sector, supporting economic resilience and supply chain security. His primary focus lies in NAICS 332722 (Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, and Washer Manufacturing) and 332119 (Metal Crown, Closure, and Other Metal Stamping), demonstrating deep expertise in fastener engineering and stamping processes. He procures components requiring tight tolerances, corrosion resistance, and compliance with military and aerospace standards, underscoring his technical fluency in materials science and mechanical design specifications.
