Justin Scales

Justin Scales serves as a contracting professional within the 0906 Aq Co Contracting Bat under the Department of the Army, responsible for managing acquisitions that sustain and modernize critical military infrastructure at overseas installations. His portfolio centers on facility construction, utility system upgrades, and rapid-deployment modular structures essential to operational readiness in high-priority theaters. He executes contracts under FAR and DFARS guidelines, prioritizing mission-critical infrastructure resilience, with a focus on procurement vehicles that ensure timely delivery of engineering, construction, and technical support services in austere environments. Scales maintains a concentrated contracting relationship with PYUNGTAEK ENVIRONMENT CO., LTD, which consistently delivers specialized environmental and infrastructure support services. While the majority of his awards flow through this primary vendor, he engages a broader base of ten smaller contractors for niche or supplemental tasks, indicating a strategic reliance on a dominant prime with a supporting ecosystem of specialized vendors. His approach reflects a preference for proven, vetted contractors with established performance histories in overseas military environments, minimizing risk while ensuring compliance with expeditionary construction standards. His set-aside preferences show a strong orientation toward open competition, with 83.3% of awards issued without socioeconomic set-asides, reflecting the urgent, mission-driven nature of his acquisitions. However, he consistently reserves 16.7% of opportunities under the Local Area Set-Aside provision (FAR 26.2), demonstrating a targeted commitment to supporting regional economic stability in host nations where U.S. installations operate. Scales’ procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS categories including 334517 (Irradiation Apparatus Manufacturing), 334111 (Electronic Computer Manufacturing), and 334210 (Telephone Apparatus Manufacturing), indicating a significant need for hardened communication and electronic systems in field-deployed command nodes. He also procures 561710 (Pest Control Services) and 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction), underscoring his role in integrated infrastructure sustainment—spanning technical electronics, environmental compliance, and civil works—to ensure full-spectrum readiness across forward operating locations.
