William A. Schleckser

William A. Schleckser serves as a Contracting Officer for U.S. Transportation Command (USTransCom), code HTC711, where he executes mission-critical procurement actions to enable global military mobility. He manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions supporting expeditionary logistics, port and terminal operations, and rapid deployment capabilities across air, sea, land, and rail domains. His responsibilities include soliciting, evaluating, and awarding contracts for technical services essential to sustaining theater access and operational readiness, with a focus on mission-critical infrastructure and systems integration. Schleckser operates within the full spectrum of federal acquisition regulations, ensuring compliance while delivering agile, responsive solutions to support dynamic defense requirements. Schleckser maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized contractors, 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 aviation, logistics support, and expeditionary service providers with proven expertise in austere environment operations. His contracting patterns emphasize performance-based, outcome-driven agreements, often involving complex technical requirements and operational integration. He fosters long-term vendor collaboration grounded in reliability, regulatory compliance, and mission alignment rather than transactional procurement. His set-aside preferences show a strong orientation toward open competition, with 83.3% of awards issued without socioeconomic set-asides, reflecting the specialized and urgent nature of USTransCom’s mission needs. However, he consistently allocates 16.7% of awards to 8(a) competed contracts, demonstrating a measured but intentional commitment to small business participation where capabilities align with mission-critical requirements. Schleckser’s procurement focus centers on five key NAICS categories—541511 (Custom Computer Programming), 541512 (Computer Systems Design), 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), 541330 (Engineering Services), and 519190 (Other Information Services)—each representing technical domains critical to logistics automation, command and control systems, and mobility planning tools. He specializes in procuring software development, systems integration, and engineering services that enhance operational efficiency, data interoperability, and real-time decision support for global transportation networks.
