MSgt Scott Hartzell

MSgt Scott Hartzell serves as a secondary contracting representative within the W7NU Uspfo Activity Ohang 180, supporting the Department of the Army’s mission to sustain and modernize critical military infrastructure. While not the primary contracting officer, he plays a vital role in facilitating acquisition planning, evaluating contractor capabilities, and ensuring compliance with technical and regulatory standards for construction and utility upgrades. His work directly supports the procurement of facilities-related services, including concrete construction, electrical system modernization, and commercial building maintenance, ensuring installations remain mission-ready and resilient. He collaborates closely with project engineers and logistics teams to align contracting actions with operational priorities. Though no primary contractor relationships are currently documented, Hartzell’s procurement activities consistently engage specialty trade contractors with expertise in structural framing, poured concrete foundations, and institutional building construction. His working patterns reflect a preference for established, technically proficient vendors capable of meeting stringent military construction specifications, often coordinating with small businesses that demonstrate proven experience in military-grade infrastructure projects. Hartzell demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 66.7% of his acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize opportunities for small, disadvantaged, and veteran-owned firms capable of delivering specialized construction services. His contracting patterns prioritize socioeconomic goals without compromising technical rigor, aligning with Department of the Army directives to broaden the defense industrial base. His primary procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 238130 (Framing Contractors), 238110 (Poured Concrete Foundation and Structure Contractors), and 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction). He routinely manages acquisitions for structural upgrades, utility integration, and facility modernization projects requiring precision in material specifications, safety compliance, and rapid deployment timelines. His domain expertise lies in the intersection of military readiness and civil construction standards, ensuring infrastructure meets both operational and regulatory benchmarks.
