Brandon Blattner

Brandon Blattner serves as a key procurement professional within DLA Disposition Services Headquarters, overseeing the responsible disposition of excess and surplus Department of Defense property through lawful, environmentally compliant, and economically efficient channels. His work centers on the acquisition of recycling, scrap recovery, and material redistribution services critical to the agency’s mission of maximizing resource recovery from military demilitarization operations. He manages contracts aligned with the circular economy principles of reuse, recycling, and sustainable disposal, primarily focusing on metallic and non-metallic scrap streams generated from decommissioned equipment and infrastructure. Blattner maintains consistent contracting relationships with specialized recyclers and scrap wholesalers, most notably KUWAIT ULTRA GENERAL CONTRACTING COMPANY and HUB SCRAP METALS, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with established capabilities in handling large-volume military scrap, including ferrous and non-ferrous metal processing, hazardous material segregation, and compliance with DoD environmental standards. His contracting approach emphasizes operational reliability, regulatory adherence, and logistical scalability over geographic proximity or niche specialization. His procurement portfolio exhibits no set-aside preferences, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on maximizing value and efficiency through broad market access rather than socioeconomic targeting, aligning with DLA’s mission to achieve optimal return on surplus assets while ensuring compliance with federal disposal statutes. Blattner’s primary procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 423930—Recyclable Material Merchant Wholesalers—indicating deep expertise in the secondary materials market. He procures services related to the collection, sorting, processing, and resale of scrap metals, plastics, and other reusable materials from military demilitarization sites. His technical domain expertise lies in supply chain logistics for hazardous and non-hazardous recyclables, environmental compliance frameworks, and the commercialization of defense-derived waste streams into viable industrial feedstocks.
