Larry Kagler

Larry Kagler serves as a key procurement lead within the Department of the Air Force’s FA7014 office, responsible for managing complex acquisitions that sustain and modernize critical Air Force operational capabilities. His work centers on securing professional services and technical support essential to mission readiness, with a focus on systems engineering and technical assistance (SETA), enterprise IT modernization, and cybersecurity infrastructure. Kagler oversees the full lifecycle of contract actions—from requirements definition to award and performance monitoring—ensuring alignment with Air Force strategic priorities and federal acquisition regulations. He primarily handles task orders and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts for high-priority, mission-critical services. Kagler maintains enduring relationships with core contractors including SIGMATECH, INC. and PURDUE UNIVERSITY, leveraging their deep expertise in technical analysis, systems integration, and advanced research support. These partnerships are characterized by long-term, performance-based engagements that emphasize innovation, compliance, and mission alignment. His contracting approach prioritizes subject matter expertise over volume, favoring established technical partners with proven track records in defense-centric environments. Kagler’s procurement portfolio reflects a strict no-set-aside policy, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This indicates a deliberate focus on technical merit and capability over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with the agency’s need for specialized, mission-critical services where only a limited pool of qualified vendors exists. His primary procurement activity is concentrated under NAICS 562211 (Hazardous Waste Treatment and Disposal), suggesting a specialized operational need for environmental compliance, munitions disposal, or hazardous material management services in support of Air Force installations. This focus reveals deep technical expertise in defense environmental operations, regulatory adherence, and industrial safety protocols—domains critical to sustaining Air Force readiness while meeting federal environmental mandates.
