Scott D. Yeager

Scott D. Yeager serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions, from requirement validation and market research to contract award and administration. He plays a pivotal role in ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while advancing mission-critical acquisitions aligned with organizational objectives. His portfolio primarily encompasses professional services, with a strong emphasis on research, analytical, and communications support functions. Yeager routinely handles competitive solicitations under FAR Part 15, including RFPs for complex service-based contracts requiring technical evaluation and source selection processes. While no specific contractor relationships are identified, Yeager’s contracting patterns reflect a preference for open competition, with no set-asides utilized in recent acquisitions. This indicates a focus on maximizing market participation and leveraging broad-based industry capabilities rather than targeting specific socioeconomic categories. His approach suggests a commitment to fair and open competition, ensuring the government receives the highest quality services through a competitive landscape of qualified vendors. Yeager’s procurement activity is entirely aligned with full and open competition, with 100% of his awards issued without set-aside designations such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. This reflects a strategic decision to prioritize technical merit and value over socioeconomic preferences, consistent with agencies that require specialized expertise not readily available among small business pools or where market conditions favor large, established service providers. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541720 (Research and Development in the Social Sciences and Humanities), where he acquires qualitative and quantitative studies, policy analysis, and behavioral research services. He also regularly procures advertising and marketing communications (541810), public opinion polling (541910), and general management consulting (541611), demonstrating expertise in human-centered research and strategic communications. His technical domain centers on evidence-based decision-making, public engagement, and data-driven policy support.
