SFC James Sprigler

James D. Sprigler serves as a Contract Specialist with the 0408 Aq Hq Kuwait under the Department of the Army, where he plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical procurement actions to sustain forward-deployed military operations. His responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of contracts for infrastructure, logistics, and force protection systems in austere environments, ensuring compliance with FAR and DFARS regulations. Sprigler specializes in acquisitions that support physical security, operational readiness, and mission-critical facility sustainment, often coordinating with engineering, logistics, and security teams to align contracting outcomes with operational priorities. While specific contractor names are not available, Sprigler maintains a broad network of vendors across construction, facilities support, and equipment supply sectors. His procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and risk mitigation, fostering partnerships with firms capable of delivering rapid-response solutions in high-tempo, low-infrastructure theaters. He routinely engages with contractors possessing proven experience in military-compatible infrastructure and expeditionary logistics, ensuring timely delivery of services under challenging operational conditions. Sprigler’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 83.3% of awards issued without set-asides. However, he consistently allocates 16.7% of opportunities to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to small business participation. Though no 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB preferences are currently reflected, his reliance on small business set-asides underscores a strategic effort to broaden vendor diversity while maintaining mission effectiveness. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), supporting perimeter security and facility upgrades, followed by 561210 (Facilities Support Services) for maintenance and operations. He also procures medical equipment through 423450 and leverages 483114 and 532112 for logistical mobility and resource support, reflecting a diverse technical domain spanning construction, supply chain, and expeditionary services.
