Aldo Romero

Aldo Romero serves as a primary procurement lead within DLA Disposition Services Headquarters, overseeing the lawful and environmentally compliant disposition of excess and surplus military property. His role centers on managing acquisitions that facilitate the recovery, recycling, and redistribution of reusable materials, particularly metallic and non-metallic scrap generated from defense demilitarization operations. He handles competitive solicitations under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, ensuring compliance with DoD sustainability mandates and economic efficiency standards. His procurements directly support the agency’s mission to maximize material recovery while minimizing environmental impact through regulated disposal channels. Romero maintains strategic relationships with key vendors specializing in scrap metal processing and recyclable material logistics, including KUWAIT ULTRA GENERAL CONTRACTING COMPANY and HUB SCRAP METALS, LLC. These partnerships are primarily transactional, focused on bulk procurement of scrap commodities and transportation logistics for demilitarized assets. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established, capacity-equipped suppliers with proven capabilities in handling regulated hazardous and non-hazardous materials, ensuring adherence to environmental and safety protocols throughout the supply chain. Romero’s procurement portfolio reflects a 100% non-set-aside approach, with no use of 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic set-asides. This indicates a procurement strategy prioritizing technical capability, scale, and compliance over socioeconomic preferences, consistent with the nature of bulk commodity acquisitions requiring specialized infrastructure and regulatory expertise. His contracting decisions prioritize performance reliability and environmental stewardship over small business participation metrics. His primary procurement focus is on NAICS 423930—Recyclable Material Merchant Wholesalers—reflecting deep expertise in the acquisition of scrap metal, ferrous and non-ferrous materials, and related recycling services. A minor portion of activity falls under NAICS 488210 for rail transportation support, underscoring his involvement in the logistical movement of bulk materials. His technical domain centers on defense demilitarization, hazardous material handling, and circular economy practices within military supply chains.
