His responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions—from requirements determination and market research to contract award and administration—focusing on high-priority, mission-critical support functions such as facility operations, communications systems, and technical consulting. Tegeler ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurement decisions with FEMA’s strategic objectives for operational readiness and resilience during national emergencies. Tegeler collaborates with a diverse range of vendors providing specialized equipment and support services, particularly within the travel trailer and camper manufacturing sector. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the data, his procurement approach emphasizes vendor reliability, technical compliance, and performance-based contracting standards. He maintains a results-driven working relationship with suppliers who can deliver rapid deployment-capable assets under stringent federal oversight and time-sensitive operational demands. Tegeler’s contracting activity reflects a uniform preference for full and open competition, with 100% of acquisitions designated as “No Set-Aside.” This indicates a focus on technical capability and operational suitability over socioeconomic set-asides, though he remains compliant with all statutory requirements for small business consideration. His approach prioritizes mission necessity and efficiency, ensuring that procurement decisions are driven by functional requirements rather than socioeconomic targeting. His primary industry focus is NAICS 336214—Travel Trailer and Camper Manufacturing—indicating deep expertise in procuring mobile, deployable, and ruggedized support assets critical to field operations. These include temporary housing units, mobile command centers, and logistical support vehicles designed for extreme environmental conditions. Tegeler’s technical domain expertise lies in understanding the engineering specifications, certification standards, and deployment logistics required to sustain emergency response teams in austere environments.
