Jared Plott supports the procurement operations of DLA Disposition Services Headquarters, playing a critical role in facilitating the lawful, environmentally compliant disposal and recovery of excess Department of Defense property. He manages acquisitions centered on the recycling, resale, and redistribution of surplus military materials, with a primary focus on metallic and non-metallic scrap generated from demilitarization and decommissioning activities. His work ensures that reusable assets are efficiently diverted from landfills and reintegrated into commercial markets, aligning with the agency’s mission of sustainable resource stewardship and economic efficiency. Plott maintains consistent contracting relationships with specialized scrap metal and surplus equipment wholesalers, including KUWAIT ULTRA GENERAL CONTRACTING COMPANY, HUB SCRAP METALS, LLC, and EASTERN SURPLUS & EQUIPMENT CO. These partners are experienced in handling high-volume, low-value commodities and possess the logistical infrastructure necessary for transporting and processing bulk military surplus. His procurement approach emphasizes vendor reliability, compliance with environmental regulations, and proven capacity to manage complex material streams under strict DoD disposition protocols. Plott’s contracting activity reflects a strict no-set-aside policy, with 100% of acquisitions competed without socioeconomic preferences. This reflects the nature of the market, where specialized scrap and surplus handlers—often large, established firms with national logistics networks—dominate due to the scale and technical demands of handling defense-generated waste streams. While small business participation is not formally prioritized, all procurements remain fully open and transparent under full and open competition. His procurement focus is exclusively under NAICS 423990, Other Miscellaneous Durable Goods Merchant Wholesalers, which encompasses the wholesale distribution of scrap metals, surplus equipment, and industrial recyclables. He specializes in acquiring services related to the collection, sorting, processing, and resale of demilitarized materials, requiring deep domain knowledge in defense logistics, hazardous material handling, and circular economy practices within the defense industrial base.
