Andrew Wood

Andrew Wood serves as a key procurement lead within DLA Disposition Services Headquarters, overseeing the lawful and environmentally compliant disposition of excess and surplus Department of Defense property. His responsibilities center on managing acquisitions for the recovery, recycling, and redistribution of metallic and non-metallic scrap materials generated from military demilitarization and decommissioning operations. He ensures compliance with federal waste management statutes and DoD sustainability directives, facilitating the efficient reallocation of reusable assets while minimizing environmental impact. His acquisitions primarily involve scrap metal processing, material recovery, and logistics services aligned with circular economy principles. Wood maintains consistent contracting relationships with specialized recyclers and scrap metal wholesalers, notably KUWAIT ULTRA GENERAL CONTRACTING COMPANY and HUB SCRAP METALS, LLC. These partnerships reflect a focus on vendors with established infrastructure for handling large-volume, high-risk military scrap, including hazardous material segregation and certified recycling protocols. His working relationships are characterized by long-term performance-based engagements, emphasizing regulatory adherence, supply chain transparency, and operational reliability over competitive bidding alone. Andrew’s procurement approach reflects a strict no-set-aside policy, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This indicates a prioritization of market-wide capability and capacity over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with the agency’s operational urgency and the specialized nature of scrap handling. While small business participation is not formally incentivized, vendors must still meet stringent technical and environmental compliance standards to qualify. His procurement activity is exclusively concentrated in NAICS 423930—Recyclable Material Merchant Wholesalers—reflecting deep expertise in the scrap metal supply chain. He procures services related to collection, sorting, processing, and resale of ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastics, and other demilitarized materials, ensuring alignment with EPA and DoD environmental standards. His domain expertise lies in the intersection of defense logistics, industrial recycling, and regulatory compliance for high-volume material streams.
