Jim Emmons

Jim L. Emmons serves as a Sales and Marketing Technician, supporting procurement activities centered on the acquisition of recyclable material wholesale distribution services. In this role, he facilitates the alignment of agency supply chain needs with market-capable vendors, ensuring efficient and compliant acquisition processes. His responsibilities include identifying qualified suppliers, coordinating market research, and supporting contract administration for commodity-based procurement actions. Though not a contracting officer, Emmons plays a critical liaison role between technical stakeholders and vendor communities, ensuring that procurement strategies reflect operational requirements for recycled and secondary materials. Emmons works closely with merchant wholesalers specializing in recyclable commodities, fostering partnerships with firms that provide consistent, high-volume distribution of materials such as scrap metals, paper, plastics, and glass. His engagement patterns emphasize reliability, regulatory compliance, and logistical efficiency, often requiring vendors to demonstrate certified recycling practices and environmental stewardship. He maintains open communication channels with suppliers to ensure responsiveness and capacity to meet fluctuating demand cycles typical in material recovery operations. Emmons’ procurement activities are exclusively non-set-aside, reflecting a primary focus on market-wide competition rather than socioeconomic preference programs. This approach prioritizes price competitiveness, volume scalability, and supply chain resilience over targeted small business set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB designations. While small businesses may participate, there is no systemic preference or quota-based allocation in his acquisition strategy. His technical domain is narrowly focused on NAICS 423930—Recyclable Material Merchant Wholesalers—indicating deep specialization in the secondary materials economy. He procures bulk recyclable commodities for reuse in manufacturing and industrial applications, requiring familiarity with material specifications, contamination standards, and transportation logistics. His expertise lies in sourcing reliable wholesale distributors capable of delivering consistent quality and volume in alignment with environmental compliance frameworks.
