Thomas M. Fee

Thomas M. Fee serves as the primary contracting lead for U.S. Transportation Command (USTransCom), where he oversees the acquisition of global mobility and expeditionary logistics services critical to DoD’s strategic deployment mission. Responsible for managing complex transportation and cargo handling contracts, Fee ensures the timely and secure movement of personnel and equipment across air, sea, land, and rail domains. His procurement portfolio centers on mission-critical support functions that enable theater access and sustainment, with a focus on charter air transport, marine terminal operations, and expeditionary logistics infrastructure. He plays a pivotal role in aligning contracting actions with USTransCom’s operational tempo and global reach requirements. Fee maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of specialized vendors, including UNCOMN LLC, PHOENIX AIR GROUP, INC., RAMPART AVIATION, LLC, FANCIULLI EGISTO S.R.L., and MOUNTAIN AVIATION, LLC. These contractors provide niche capabilities in nonscheduled air charter, military cargo handling, and international port support services. His procurement pattern reflects a preference for proven, experienced providers with demonstrated expertise in high-risk, time-sensitive environments, often requiring compliance with Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) clauses for overseas operations and security protocols. Fee’s contracting activity shows a strong preference for unrestricted competition, with 92.1% of awards issued under no set-aside provisions, reflecting the specialized and mission-critical nature of the services procured. While small business participation is limited at 7.9%, it is consistently directed toward Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a measured but intentional effort to include qualified small entities where operational requirements permit. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 488320 (Marine Cargo Handling), which accounts for over two-thirds of his activity, followed by NAICS 481211 (Nonscheduled Chartered Passenger Air Transportation). These reflect deep technical expertise in expeditionary port operations, aerial logistics, and global transport network sustainment, aligning with USTransCom’s mandate to deliver rapid, scalable mobility solutions under dynamic operational conditions.
