Randle maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized contractors, including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, LAUBACKER ENTERPRISES, INC., and HAMILTON PACIFIC CHAMBERLAIN LLC, all of which provide expert grounds maintenance, landscaping, and site development services. His procurement approach favors established vendors with proven track records in cemetery-specific infrastructure support, fostering stable, mission-aligned partnerships that prioritize reliability, historical preservation standards, and environmental stewardship. These relationships reflect a preference for contractors with demonstrated experience in managing large-scale, federally maintained memorial landscapes. Randle demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with over half of his awards directed toward Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business Set Asides, reflecting a deliberate alignment with VA’s veteran-centric procurement goals. The remaining awards are issued under No Set-Aside conditions, typically for specialized services requiring unique technical capabilities. His contracting patterns consistently prioritize veteran-owned enterprises, reinforcing the agency’s mission through direct economic empowerment of those who served. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561730 (Landscaping Services), accounting for nearly 70% of his activity, followed by janitorial and irrigation system maintenance under 561720 and 221310. He specializes in acquiring services that sustain cemetery aesthetics, drainage, monument integrity, and horticultural health—technical domains requiring precision, cultural sensitivity, and adherence to federal preservation guidelines.
