Roger Mott

Roger J. Mott serves as a Contract Negotiator responsible for managing complex procurement actions within specialized defense and industrial sectors. His role centers on ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while negotiating terms that balance mission needs, technical requirements, and fiscal responsibility. Mott typically handles high-stakes, technical acquisitions involving sensitive manufacturing processes, often requiring close coordination with engineering, legal, and program management teams to align contract deliverables with national security objectives. His work is critical to securing mission-critical capabilities through structured, risk-managed contracting practices. Mott’s contractor relationships are highly specialized, primarily engaging with manufacturers possessing advanced technical certifications and production capabilities in explosives and guided missile systems. He works with a limited pool of qualified vendors who meet stringent security, quality, and compliance standards, fostering long-term partnerships built on reliability, technical precision, and regulatory adherence. His negotiation approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, clear delivery schedules, and robust quality assurance provisions, ensuring contractors meet exacting defense industry benchmarks. Mott’s contracting activity shows no reliance on socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a procurement strategy prioritizing technical capability and mission readiness over socioeconomic preferences, consistent with the nature of the specialized, high-consequence systems he procures. While small business participation is not a primary focus, his awards remain fully compliant with all applicable federal contracting statutes and oversight requirements. His primary procurement focus is on NAICS 325920 (Explosives Manufacturing), where he secures propellants, detonators, and other ordnance components requiring strict handling and certification protocols. He also manages limited acquisitions under NAICS 336414 (Guided Missile and Space Vehicle Manufacturing), overseeing the procurement of propulsion systems, guidance components, and associated subsystems. Mott’s expertise lies in the technical and regulatory nuances of defense manufacturing, ensuring acquired goods meet DoD performance, safety, and interoperability standards.
