Alex Bell

Alex Bell serves as a key procurement professional within DLA Disposition Services Headquarters, responsible for managing the lawful and environmentally compliant disposition of excess and surplus Department of Defense property. Focused on the recovery and redistribution of reusable materials, Bell oversees acquisitions centered on scrap metal recycling and material reclamation operations, ensuring alignment with federal sustainability and economic efficiency mandates. Their work directly supports the agency’s mission to maximize resource recovery from demilitarized and decommissioned military assets through regulated, transparent contracting processes. Bell maintains established relationships with core contractors including KUWAIT ULTRA GENERAL CONTRACTING COMPANY, HUB SCRAP METALS, LLC, and EASTERN SURPLUS & EQUIPMENT CO, all of which specialize in the collection, processing, and wholesale distribution of metallic and non-metallic scrap. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced, vertically integrated recyclers capable of handling large-scale, high-volume material flows under strict regulatory oversight. The working relationships are characterized by consistent, repeat engagement grounded in performance reliability and compliance with environmental and transportation standards. There is no preference for socioeconomic set-asides; all acquisitions are conducted as full and open competitions, reflecting a procurement strategy prioritizing market-wide competition and operational scale over targeted socioeconomic categories. This approach ensures access to the broadest possible pool of qualified recyclers capable of meeting the technical and logistical demands of military material disposition. The primary NAICS classification underpinning Bell’s portfolio is 423930—Recyclable Material Merchant Wholesalers—indicating a singular focus on the wholesale trading and processing of scrap metals and industrial byproducts. Expertise lies in the procurement of recycled ferrous and non-ferrous materials, along with associated logistics and environmental compliance services essential to DoD’s circular economy initiatives.
