Robert Spadaro, Jr.

Robert F. Spadaro, Jr. serves as a secondary procurement specialist within DLA Troop Support, supporting the agency’s mission to sustain U.S. military readiness through the acquisition of mission-critical logistics and operational equipment. He contributes to the procurement lifecycle for durable, high-performance systems essential to field operations, including industrial material handling, vehicle body systems, and specialized electrical components. His role involves collaborative contract administration, market analysis, and compliance oversight to ensure timely delivery of equipment that supports troop welfare and deployable infrastructure needs across global operational theaters. Spadaro maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including WESTLAND TECHNOLOGIES, INC., ENGINEERED COIL COMPANY, ECI DEFENSE GROUP, INC., PIONEER INDUSTRIES, LLC, and AEROSPACE & COMMERCIAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in manufacturing ruggedized equipment, climate control systems, and heavy-duty vehicle components. His procurement approach emphasizes technical compliance, performance reliability, and supply chain resilience, often leveraging long-standing vendor relationships to meet urgent operational requirements while maintaining stringent DoD quality standards. Set-asides represent a minor portion of his portfolio, with approximately 97.5% of acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. The remaining 2.5% are allocated to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a measured but deliberate commitment to small business participation without prioritizing specific socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. His contracting patterns reflect a mission-first orientation, favoring capability and delivery reliability over socioeconomic targeting. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 333924 for industrial truck and stacker machinery, alongside significant activity in 336211 and 336120 for motor vehicle body and heavy-duty truck manufacturing. He also engages with specialized electrical equipment suppliers under 335999. This technical domain expertise underscores his specialization in procuring robust, field-deployable mechanical and vehicular systems critical to military logistics and sustainment operations.
