James Wolfingbarger

James Wolfingbarger serves as a primary contracting professional within the Defense Logistics Agency’s Land and Maritime division (SPE7M1), where he manages the acquisition of mission-critical mechanical, electrical, and fabricated metal components essential to naval, land, and expeditionary systems. His portfolio centers on sustaining operational readiness by procuring industrial valves, sealing devices, power transmission equipment, and ordnance accessories that support the functionality of military platforms. He executes full-cycle contracting actions under FAR and DFARS guidelines, ensuring timely delivery of high-reliability parts for fleet maintenance and modernization efforts across the Department of Defense. Wolfingbarger maintains consistent procurement relationships with key vendors including TRIMAN INDUSTRIES INC, ECI DEFENSE GROUP, ITL LLC, KAMPI COMPONENTS CO INC, and ASRC FEDERAL FACILITIES LOGISTICS, LLC. These partnerships reflect a focus on specialized manufacturers of electrical components and industrial machinery, with an emphasis on suppliers capable of meeting stringent military specifications and quality control standards. His contracting patterns favor established vendors with proven track records in defense-grade production, while actively incorporating small business participation where feasible. His set-aside preferences are predominantly non-set-aside (80.7%), reflecting the technical complexity and limited supplier base for specialized components. However, he consistently leverages Total Small Business Set-Asides (14.4%), with targeted support for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (2.5%) and Women-Owned Small Businesses (1.5%), demonstrating a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals without compromising mission-critical requirements. His procurement focus is heavily concentrated in NAICS 335910 (Battery Manufacturing) and 335999 (Miscellaneous Electrical Equipment), with significant activity in motor and generator manufacturing (335312) and commercial machinery (333310). This reflects deep technical expertise in sourcing energy storage systems, power conversion components, and electromechanical subsystems critical to military vehicle and shipboard operations.
