Randy Steiner

Randy Steiner serves as a Purchasing Agent for the W6QM Micc-Yuma Provisional Group, a Department of the Army unit responsible for sustaining advanced test and evaluation capabilities for defense systems. In this role, he manages the acquisition of specialized engineering services, precision instrumentation, and mission-critical maintenance support essential to aerospace and battlefield readiness. His procurement activities center on technical services that ensure the reliability of communication systems, measurement equipment, and operational test infrastructure, aligning closely with the agency’s mission to validate next-generation military technologies under real-world conditions. Steiner maintains a consistent working relationship with TRAX INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION, a primary contractor providing technical and logistics support for defense testing programs. His procurement pattern reflects a preference for established vendors with proven expertise in defense instrumentation and field service operations, though he also engages with niche providers capable of delivering specialized calibration, repair, and data acquisition solutions. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical compliance, and rapid response to evolving test requirements. While the majority of his acquisitions—72.7%—are conducted without set-asides, Steiner demonstrates a notable commitment to small business participation, with 27.3% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. He actively seeks qualified small businesses capable of delivering niche technical services, though no specific socioeconomic categories like 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB dominate his portfolio. His primary NAICS focus includes industrial gas manufacturing, perishable prepared food manufacturing, and armored car services, reflecting the diverse operational support needs of a forward-deployed test environment. Additionally, he procures specialized maintenance services under NAICS 811219, indicating a need for precision repair of test equipment. These categories, while seemingly disparate, underscore the complex, multi-domain logistics and sustainment demands of military test ranges requiring both technical and ancillary support services.
