Jeremy Claytor

Jeremy Claytor serves as a procurement specialist responsible for managing complex acquisitions of industrial components and mechanical systems within a federal agency. He oversees the full lifecycle of contracting actions—from market research and solicitation development to award and contract administration—ensuring compliance with FAR regulations and agency mission requirements. His portfolio centers on high-volume, standardized hardware and engineered fastening systems critical to infrastructure, defense, and maintenance operations. Claytor’s work supports operational readiness by securing reliable, quality-assured components through transparent and competitive processes. His contractor relationships span a diverse base of manufacturers and specialty suppliers, with consistent engagement with small businesses producing precision hardware and mechanical assemblies. He maintains active partnerships with firms specializing in bolt, nut, and screw manufacturing, as well as plumbing and HVAC system integrators. While no single contractor dominates his award profile, his procurement strategy emphasizes vendor diversity, performance reliability, and supply chain resilience, fostering long-term relationships with vendors capable of meeting stringent technical specifications and delivery timelines. Claytor demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with approximately 20% of his acquisitions set aside for total small business concerns under FAR 19.5. While the majority of his contracts remain open to all competitors, his consistent use of small business set-asides reflects a deliberate effort to expand economic opportunity and enhance competition. He does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, instead prioritizing broad-based small business eligibility to maximize vendor participation and innovation. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 332722 (fastener manufacturing) and 332510 (hardware manufacturing), reflecting deep expertise in mechanical components used in aerospace, construction, and industrial equipment. He also procures related services under 238220 for specialized plumbing and HVAC installations, with limited activity in aircraft manufacturing (336411) and fastener subcomponents (339993). Claytor’s technical domain expertise centers on material specifications, dimensional tolerances, and compliance with military and industrial standards, ensuring components meet rigorous performance and safety requirements.
