Lief Remington

Lief Remington serves as a key procurement professional within the W7NJ USPFO Activity MO ARNG, a Department of the Army unit responsible for sustaining readiness across Army National Guard and active-duty forces. He manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on aviation component logistics, facility support services, and meal operations critical to maintaining operational tempo. His work ensures timely access to mission-critical supplies and services that enable continuous training and deployment readiness across the continental United States. Remington specializes in complex, multi-disciplinary contract actions requiring coordination between technical, logistical, and operational stakeholders. Remington maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including Columbia Helicopters, Inc., Axxeum Inc., Associated Aircraft Manufacturing & Sales, Inc., Crestwood Technology Group, LLC, and Brightwater UAG, LLC. These partnerships reflect a reliance on specialized aviation support providers, technical services firms, and caterers capable of delivering just-in-time logistics and mission-enabling services under demanding operational conditions. His contracting approach emphasizes reliability, regulatory compliance, and performance-based outcomes, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in technical expertise and mission alignment. A strong advocate for small business participation, Remington prioritizes socioeconomic set-asides, with 71.4% of his acquisitions designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and an additional 14.3% reserved for HUBZone firms. This pattern underscores a deliberate strategy to cultivate a resilient, geographically diverse supplier base capable of supporting decentralized, high-tempo operations. His contracting decisions consistently align with DoD’s small business goals, promoting equitable access and capacity building among qualified small vendors. His procurement focus centers on NAICS categories including 722320 (Caterers), 324110 (Petroleum Refineries), 333924 (Industrial Truck Manufacturing), 334517 (Irradiation Apparatus Manufacturing), and 541840 (Media Representatives), reflecting an unconventional but mission-critical blend of services—from aviation fuel logistics and material handling equipment to food service and specialized communications support. This eclectic portfolio reveals deep expertise in integrating non-traditional capabilities into force sustainment operations.
