Nicole Scott

Nicole Scott serves as a primary contracting professional within DLA Troop Support, responsible for managing complex acquisitions that sustain operational readiness across U.S. military forces. She oversees the procurement of mission-critical equipment including climate control systems, specialized pumping and hoisting apparatus, and deployable infrastructure components essential to field logistics and troop welfare. Her work directly supports the agency’s mandate to deliver durable, high-performance systems that enable force projection and sustainment in austere environments. Scott handles full lifecycle contracting actions—from market research and solicitation to award and administration—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and defense-specific technical standards. She maintains consistent working relationships with key industrial partners including WESTLAND TECHNOLOGIES, INC., ENGINEERED COIL COMPANY, ECI DEFENSE GROUP, INC., AEROSPACE & COMMERCIAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLC, and JOHNSON CONTROLS NAVY SYSTEMS, LLC. These vendors specialize in engineered mechanical systems, thermal management solutions, and defense-grade fabrication, reflecting Scott’s focus on technical precision and supply chain reliability. Her procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, performance-based contracting, and technical validation to ensure equipment interoperability and operational resilience. Scott’s contracting portfolio is overwhelmingly dominated by non-set-aside awards at 85.5%, with modest but deliberate allocations to total small business set-asides at 11.6% and equal representation of service-disabled veteran-owned and women-owned small businesses at 1.4% each. While not heavily reliant on socioeconomic set-asides, she actively incorporates small business participation where technical capability and capacity align, demonstrating a balanced commitment to competition and mission effectiveness. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 333923 (overhead crane and hoist systems) and 314994 (specialty cordage and fabric mills), indicating deep expertise in heavy-lift infrastructure and engineered textiles for military use. She also manages acquisitions in pumping systems (333914) and miscellaneous manufacturing (339999), underscoring her technical proficiency in mechanical and industrial systems critical to expeditionary logistics and base sustainment operations.
