Randy C. Singleton

Randy C. Singleton serves as a procurement professional responsible for managing complex acquisitions in advanced engineering and specialized manufacturing sectors. He plays a critical role in executing the agency’s acquisition strategy by overseeing contracts for high-precision systems, including navigation and guidance instrumentation, electrical components, and industrial machinery. His portfolio emphasizes technical procurement requiring rigorous compliance with federal specifications, ensuring delivered solutions meet stringent performance, safety, and interoperability standards. Singleton typically handles competitive sealed bidding and negotiated procurements under FAR Part 15, with a focus on delivering mission-critical equipment and engineering services to support operational readiness. His contractor relationships span a diverse base of manufacturers and engineering service providers, with no single vendor dominating his award profile. He engages with both large-tier defense and industrial suppliers and small businesses capable of meeting specialized technical requirements. His contracting approach favors open competition with structured evaluation criteria, fostering innovation while maintaining accountability and regulatory compliance. Vendor partnerships are built on demonstrated technical capability, past performance, and adherence to quality control standards. Singleton’s procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 93.5% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions. Only 6.5% of contracts are reserved for Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a targeted, rather than broad, approach to socioeconomic contracting. While he does not routinely prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, he ensures small business participation through subcontracting opportunities and fair competition in unrestricted actions. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334511 for aeronautical and navigation systems, 335999 for miscellaneous electrical components, and 333923 for overhead crane and monorail systems. He also regularly procures engineering services under 541330 and industrial maintenance under 811310. This technical specialization reflects deep expertise in procuring precision hardware, control systems, and mission-support infrastructure for defense, aerospace, or industrial applications.
