He manages the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions under FAR and DFARS guidelines, focusing on professional services, infrastructure support, and mission-enabling technical solutions.

Ziegler maintains consistent contracting relationships with a select group of established vendors, including AMD International Technologies LLC for technical support services, Constellation NewEnergy, Inc. for energy solutions, MSL Housekeeping Services LLC for facility operations, Boh Environmental, L.L.C. for environmental compliance, and Hydrogeologic, Inc. for geotechnical and hydrologic consulting. These partnerships reflect a preference for proven contractors with demonstrated expertise in defense-sector requirements, emphasizing reliability, regulatory adherence, and performance-based service delivery. His contracting approach prioritizes open competition, with approximately two-thirds of awards issued as no set-aside actions, while maintaining a robust 33.3% commitment to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. Though not focused on 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, Ziegler consistently enables small business participation through simplified acquisition procedures and competitive small business set-asides aligned with agency socioeconomic goals. His primary NAICS focus includes 611430 for professional and management development training, reflecting a strong emphasis on workforce readiness and technical upskilling. He also procures institutional furniture (337127), environmental remediation services, and niche manufacturing services such as specialized electronic components and mattress production—indicating a broad, mission-driven approach to supporting both personnel welfare and facility modernization across diverse Army installations.
