Nick Youn

Nick Youn serves as a key procurement professional within the Defense Logistics Agency’s Land at Aberdeen office (SPRBL1), supporting the acquisition of mission-critical electronic, communications, and electro-mechanical systems essential for land-based military platforms. Responsible for managing complex contracting actions, Youn focuses on sustaining and modernizing command, control, and tactical systems through the procurement of advanced signal processing components, avionics, radio and data transmission equipment, and power control assemblies. His work directly enables operational readiness across Army and joint force units by ensuring timely delivery of high-reliability hardware and integrated systems used in field-deployed environments. Youth maintains consistent contracting relationships with specialized manufacturers including Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, Carson Industries, Inc., and Creating Technology Solutions, LLC—vendors recognized for their expertise in custom electronic subsystems, ruggedized communications hardware, and mission-specific electro-mechanical assemblies. These partnerships reflect a preference for technically capable small-to-midsize firms with proven track records in defense-grade product development and rapid prototyping, often under time-sensitive delivery requirements. There is no preference for socioeconomic set-asides; all acquisitions are competed broadly under full and open competition, reflecting a mission-driven emphasis on technical capability and performance over socioeconomic criteria. While small business participation is not mandated, qualified small firms are routinely selected based on technical merit and past performance. Youth’s procurement portfolio is concentrated in NAICS 334290 (Other Communications Equipment Manufacturing), 334310 (Audio and Video Equipment Manufacturing), and 335931 (Current-Carrying Wiring Device Manufacturing), with secondary activity in apparel accessories (315990). His technical domain expertise centers on ruggedized RF systems, embedded signal processing modules, military-grade connectivity solutions, and hardened power distribution components used in tactical vehicles and field command nodes.
