Roy Barnett

Roy Barnett serves as a key procurement lead within DLA Disposition Services Headquarters, overseeing the lawful and environmentally compliant disposition of excess and surplus Department of Defense property. His responsibilities center on managing acquisitions for the recovery, recycling, and redistribution of metallic and non-metallic scrap materials generated from military demilitarization and decommissioning operations. He ensures compliance with federal environmental regulations while maximizing the economic value of recovered materials through competitive contracting processes. His portfolio primarily involves the procurement of scrap metal handling, transportation, and recycling services, aligning directly with DLA’s mission to promote sustainability and resource efficiency across the defense supply chain. Barnett maintains consistent working relationships with established recyclers and scrap metal wholesalers, including KUWAIT ULTRA GENERAL CONTRACTING COMPANY, HUB SCRAP METALS, LLC, and EASTERN SURPLUS & EQUIPMENT CO. These contractors are selected for their capacity to handle large-scale demilitarization outputs, comply with hazardous material protocols, and provide certified recycling pathways. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for experienced, vertically integrated vendors capable of end-to-end material recovery, from on-site collection to final processing and resale, ensuring traceability and regulatory adherence. Barnett’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on operational scale and market competitiveness rather than socioeconomic set-asides, prioritizing vendor capability, compliance history, and logistical efficiency over certification-based preferences. His acquisitions are exclusively classified under NAICS 423930—Recyclable Material Merchant Wholesalers—indicating deep specialization in the wholesale distribution of scrap metals and industrial byproducts. He procures services related to the collection, sorting, processing, and resale of ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastics, and other recyclables from military installations, demonstrating technical expertise in defense waste stream management and circular economy practices within the defense industrial base.
