He manages a diverse portfolio of contracts spanning expeditionary logistics, port and terminal operations, and rapid deployment systems, ensuring alignment with DoD strategic mobility objectives. His work directly enables the seamless movement of personnel and materiel across air, sea, land, and rail domains, requiring deep expertise in acquisition regulations, performance-based contracting, and mission-critical supply chain management. Filer maintains consistent procurement relationships with key vendors including UNCOMN LLC, PHOENIX AIR GROUP, INC., RAMPART AVIATION, LLC, FANCIULLI EGISTO S.R.L., and MOUNTAIN AVIATION, LLC—organizations specializing in aviation support, cargo handling, and expeditionary logistics services. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced, specialized contractors capable of delivering high-tempo, mission-essential capabilities under dynamic operational conditions. His contracting approach emphasizes performance outcomes, technical reliability, and readiness assurance, often involving long-term service agreements and performance-based incentives. Filer’s procurement strategy reflects a balanced approach to socioeconomic goals, with approximately one-third of his awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a clear commitment to small business participation.
