Roger J. Mott

Roger B. Mott serves as a key procurement professional responsible for managing complex acquisitions in advanced manufacturing and defense-related technologies. His role centers on executing full lifecycle contracting actions for high-precision components and specialized industrial systems, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-critical delivery timelines. He typically handles competitive sealed bidding and negotiated procurements for technical goods requiring stringent quality controls and supply chain integrity, aligning acquisitions with national security and industrial base priorities. Mott’s contractor relationships are primarily with manufacturers and engineering firms capable of meeting rigorous technical specifications in explosives, electronic components, and aerospace subsystems. He engages with a mix of large industrial primes and specialized small businesses, emphasizing technical capability over volume. His procurement approach favors established vendors with proven track records in defense-grade manufacturing, though he maintains an open solicitation process to ensure market competition and innovation. His contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for unrestricted competition, with over 95% of awards issued under general solicitation. Small business set-asides are selectively applied, with a modest but consistent focus on Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 and occasional use of Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) preferences. This reflects a balanced approach—prioritizing mission needs while supporting socioeconomic goals through targeted, compliant set-asides. Mott’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 325920 (Explosives Manufacturing), indicating deep expertise in hazardous materials handling, detonation systems, and propellant production. He also regularly procures electronic components under 334419 and engineering services under 541330, demonstrating proficiency in electro-mechanical integration and technical design support. His domain expertise spans ordnance systems, precision hardware, and auxiliary aerospace equipment, positioning him as a specialist in high-reliability, low-volume manufacturing procurement within the national defense industrial base.
