Larry Latham

Larry Latham serves as a key procurement lead within the W7M7 Uspfo Activity Inang 122, operating under the Department of the Army, where he oversees the acquisition of specialized office furniture and related facility support systems critical to sustaining military installation readiness. His role centers on executing full-cycle contracting actions in alignment with the agency’s mission to modernize operational infrastructure, ensuring that administrative and command environments are equipped with durable, compliant, and mission-ready furnishings. He manages solicitations, evaluates technical proposals, and ensures contract compliance with federal acquisition regulations, focusing on high-integrity procurement processes that support force protection and functional readiness. Latham’s contractor relationships are exclusively with small business vendors, as all acquisitions are structured as full small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. He maintains consistent partnerships with manufacturers and distributors certified under various socioeconomic programs, particularly those specializing in commercial-grade, military-specification office furniture. His procurement pattern emphasizes long-term vendor reliability, quality assurance, and adherence to federal standards such as FED-STD-CCC-F-430 and GSA schedules, fostering collaborative relationships with suppliers who can meet stringent durability and delivery requirements for government facilities. His procurement portfolio is entirely focused on NAICS 337214 — Office Furniture (except Wood) Manufacturing — reflecting a narrow, highly specialized acquisition domain. He procures modular workstations, ergonomic seating, secure storage systems, and custom-configured furniture designed for secure environments, often requiring flame-retardant materials, antimicrobial finishes, and ballistic-resistant components. His technical expertise lies in specifying furniture systems that meet DoD facility standards while supporting operational efficiency in command centers, administrative offices, and transient personnel areas. Latham’s unwavering commitment to small business participation ensures that 100% of his contracts are awarded to small business concerns, reinforcing the Army’s socioeconomic goals and promoting equitable access to defense procurement opportunities for qualified manufacturers.
