Tiffany L. Kauffmann

Tiffany L. Kauffmann serves as a Contract Specialist within U.S. Transportation Command (USTransCom), where she plays a critical role in executing the agency’s global mobility mission through the acquisition of expeditionary logistics and transportation services. She manages the full lifecycle of contracts supporting the movement of personnel, equipment, and supplies across air, sea, land, and rail domains, ensuring rapid deployment and sustainment for military operations worldwide. Her acquisitions primarily focus on express delivery and time-sensitive cargo transport, aligning with USTransCom’s imperative for seamless, mission-critical mobility solutions under dynamic operational conditions. Kauffmann maintains consistent contracting relationships with a select group of specialized aviation and logistics providers, including UNCOMN LLC, PHOENIX AIR GROUP, INC., RAMPART AVIATION, LLC, FANCIULLI EGISTO S.R.L., and MOUNTAIN AVIATION, LLC. These partnerships reflect a reliance on niche, high-capability vendors with proven expertise in expeditionary air cargo, charter operations, and global port-to-port delivery systems. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, strict compliance with defense transportation standards, and long-term vendor reliability over broad competition. Notably, Kauffmann’s procurement portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic preference for selecting the most capable and mission-ready providers regardless of socioeconomic status, prioritizing operational readiness and global scalability over socioeconomic program objectives. While small business participation is not formally targeted, her contracts remain accessible to all qualified vendors under FAR Part 15 procedures. Her primary technical focus is NAICS 492110—Couriers and Express Delivery Services—where she procures time-definite, door-to-door transportation solutions tailored to military exigencies. This includes specialized air charter services, port terminal support, and integrated multimodal logistics, requiring deep domain knowledge in defense transportation protocols, customs compliance, and expeditionary supply chain resilience.
