Coleman R. Scott

Coleman R. Scott serves as a Contracting Officer for the Department of the Navy under Commanding Officer N63394, where he plays a pivotal role in advancing naval aviation and electronic warfare capabilities through strategic procurement of aerospace components, mission-critical communications systems, and advanced engineering services. His acquisitions support the sustainment and modernization of carrier-based aircraft, sensor suites, and cybersecurity-enabled command and control infrastructures, ensuring operational readiness across the fleet. Scott specializes in complex, technical contracts requiring rigorous compliance with defense acquisition regulations and lifecycle management standards. Scott maintains established relationships with prime contractors including AEROSPACE & COMMERCIAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLC and LOCKHEED MARTIN CORPORATION, partnering with industry leaders to deliver high-assurance systems for naval platforms. His procurement approach emphasizes technical precision, risk mitigation, and performance-based outcomes, often utilizing indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) and cost-reimbursement contract types. He collaborates closely with technical evaluators and program managers to align vendor capabilities with mission-critical requirements in electronic warfare, avionics integration, and secure data transmission. A strong advocate for small business participation, Scott consistently prioritizes socioeconomic set-asides, with over 54% of his awards designated for Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. He actively supports Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB) and Women-Owned Small Businesses (WOSB), reflecting a deliberate commitment to expanding vendor diversity within the defense industrial base. His contracting patterns demonstrate a balanced approach between leveraging large prime contractors and cultivating niche small business capabilities in specialized technical domains. Scott’s primary procurement focus centers on NAICS categories including 337126 (furniture manufacturing), 493190 (warehousing and storage), and 561621 (security systems services), reflecting a broad operational support footprint. While these categories appear prominent, his core technical expertise lies in procuring aerospace subsystems, electronic assembly components, and mission-critical engineering services that underpin naval aviation readiness and electronic warfare modernization.
