Ronald Fahling

Ronald Fahling serves as a key procurement lead within DLA Disposition Services Headquarters, overseeing the responsible disposal and recycling of excess Department of Defense property. His work is central to the agency’s mission of maximizing recovery and reuse of metallic and non-metallic scrap materials generated from military demilitarization and decommissioning operations. Fahling manages acquisitions under the NAICS 423930 category, focusing exclusively on recyclable material merchant wholesalers who handle the collection, processing, and redistribution of surplus military assets. His contracting activities ensure compliance with federal environmental regulations and economic efficiency standards while supporting sustainable defense logistics. Fahling maintains consistent procurement relationships with specialized recyclers, most notably KUWAIT ULTRA GENERAL CONTRACTING COMPANY and HUB SCRAP METALS, LLC. These contractors are selected for their proven capabilities in handling large volumes of scrap metal and non-metallic materials under strict DoD disposal protocols. His working relationships are characterized by long-term, performance-based engagements that emphasize regulatory adherence, logistics coordination, and material traceability. These partnerships are critical to ensuring the secure and lawful disposition of sensitive military property. Fahling’s contracting portfolio reflects a strict preference for non-set-aside acquisitions, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This pattern indicates a focus on technical capability and operational scale over socioeconomic categorization, prioritizing vendor expertise in large-scale scrap processing and environmental compliance over small business set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. His technical domain expertise lies in the recyclable materials wholesale sector, specifically the procurement of services related to the sorting, refining, and resale of ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastics, and other reusable commodities derived from military demilitarization. Fahling’s work ensures that surplus defense property is diverted from landfills and reintegrated into commercial supply chains in accordance with federal sustainability mandates.
