Nam Nguyen

Nam Nguyen supports the procurement operations of DLA Disposition Services Headquarters, facilitating the lawful and environmentally responsible disposal of excess and surplus Department of Defense property. In this capacity, they manage acquisitions aligned with the agency’s mission to recover, recycle, and redistribute reusable materials—particularly metallic and non-metallic scrap generated from military demilitarization activities. Their work centers on securing commercial waste management and scrap recycling services through competitive contracting mechanisms, ensuring compliance with federal environmental regulations and economic efficiency standards. They handle firm-fixed-price and requirements-type contracts under the NAICS 423930 category, focusing on wholesale distribution of recyclable materials. Nguyen maintains strategic relationships with key contractors including KUWAIT ULTRA GENERAL CONTRACTING COMPANY and HUB SCRAP METALS, LLC, both of which specialize in large-scale scrap collection, processing, and metallic material recovery. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in handling high-volume, regulated military scrap streams. The working relationships are transactional and performance-driven, emphasizing compliance with DOD environmental standards, timely logistics, and material accountability throughout the disposition lifecycle. There is no use of socioeconomic set-asides in their contracting portfolio; all acquisitions are conducted as full and open competitions. This reflects a deliberate procurement strategy prioritizing market-wide competition and operational scale over targeted socioeconomic programs, consistent with the high-volume, commodity-driven nature of scrap disposition. Their primary procurement focus is NAICS 423930—Recyclable Material Merchant Wholesalers—indicating deep expertise in the scrap metal and industrial recycling supply chain. They procure services related to the collection, sorting, processing, and resale of ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastics, and other recyclables from decommissioned military equipment, demonstrating specialized knowledge in defense waste stream management and circular economy practices within federal logistics.
