Scott Ballweg

Scott Ballweg serves as a Base Contracting Officer (BCO) for W7NN Uspfo Activity Nhang 157, a Department of the Army installation support unit responsible for sustaining mission-ready infrastructure and operational systems. In this role, he manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for construction, maintenance, and equipment acquisitions critical to garrison readiness, physical security, and facility modernization. His portfolio includes complex acquisitions under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), with a focus on commercial and institutional building construction, facility infrastructure upgrades, and specialized equipment procurement to support military training and daily operations. Ballweg maintains a consistent working relationship with HOWARD SYSTEMS VOICE DATA WIRI, a key contractor providing integrated communications and data infrastructure solutions. His contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in technical reliability and performance accountability, particularly for mission-critical systems such as secure voice/data networks and facility-wide connectivity platforms. He engages with a select group of pre-qualified vendors who demonstrate proven capability in military-grade installations and rapid deployment under operational constraints. His procurement strategy prioritizes small business participation, with 65% of acquisitions set aside for total small businesses under FAR 19.5 and an additional 10% reserved for HUBZone firms. This reflects a deliberate commitment to fostering economic opportunity within underserved communities while ensuring access to agile, specialized contractors capable of supporting time-sensitive installation projects. He rarely employs no-set-aside mechanisms, reinforcing a culture of inclusive contracting aligned with DoD socioeconomic goals. Ballweg’s primary NAICS focus areas include 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), 562111 (Solid Waste Collection), and 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing), indicating a diverse operational footprint spanning infrastructure development, environmental compliance, and facility testing systems. His technical expertise lies in procuring integrated systems that enhance base resilience, from structural upgrades to laboratory-grade monitoring equipment, ensuring installations meet both regulatory and mission-critical standards.
