James R Vossler

James R. Vossler serves as a procurement professional responsible for managing complex acquisitions in advanced defense and aerospace systems. His role centers on executing full lifecycle contracting actions for mission-critical equipment, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and national security requirements. He routinely handles competitive solicitations for high-technology systems, including sensors, guidance instruments, and non-small arms ammunition, aligning procurement outcomes with operational readiness goals. Vossler’s work supports the development and sustainment of capabilities essential to national defense, requiring deep technical understanding and rigorous adherence to sourcing standards. His contractor relationships are primarily with manufacturers specializing in precision aerospace instrumentation and munitions production. He engages with a mix of large primes and small-tier suppliers capable of meeting stringent military specifications, fostering partnerships that prioritize innovation, quality control, and supply chain resilience. While no single vendor dominates his portfolio, his contracting patterns reflect a preference for firms with proven track records in defense-grade manufacturing and systems integration. Vossler demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with approximately 16.7% of his acquisitions set aside for total small business concerns under FAR 19.5. Though the majority of his awards remain open to all competitors, his consistent use of small business set-asides underscores a deliberate strategy to broaden vendor diversity and stimulate innovation from niche manufacturers. He does not typically utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, instead favoring broad-based small business opportunities that encourage competitive bidding among qualified firms. His primary technical focus lies in NAICS 334511, encompassing the procurement of search, detection, navigation, and guidance systems, alongside NAICS 332993 for ammunition manufacturing. He specializes in acquiring electro-optical sensors, inertial navigation units, and non-small arms munitions, demonstrating expertise in defense electronics, precision ordnance, and ruggedized system integration. His domain knowledge ensures acquisitions meet rigorous performance, reliability, and interoperability standards for military platforms.
