Scott Estes

Scott Estes serves as a Contract Specialist within DLA Distribution (SP3300), supporting the Department of Defense’s global logistics mission by managing the acquisition of critical maintenance, security, and industrial services essential to military supply chain readiness. He oversees the full lifecycle of procurement actions—from solicitation through contract award and administration—focusing on non-tactical, mission-enabling contracts that sustain warehousing, packaging, and distribution infrastructure. His portfolio primarily includes service-based acquisitions requiring technical oversight and compliance with federal acquisition regulations, particularly in industrial operations and facility support. Estes maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including KINGSLEY BUILDERS, INC., SOUZA CONSTRUCTION, INC., CONSTRUCTICON CORP, VET CON SOUZA, and SDC TIDEWATER JV, LLC, all of which provide construction, maintenance, and facility services critical to DLA’s physical infrastructure. His contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance reliability and regulatory compliance, often re-engaging proven contractors for repeat task orders under indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) mechanisms and multiple-award contracts. A strong advocate for small business participation, Estes prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, with over half of his acquisitions reserved for small businesses. While 8(a) competed set-asides represent a minor portion of his portfolio, his contracting patterns reflect a deliberate strategy to maximize opportunities for small, veteran-owned, and service-disabled veteran-owned firms within the broader small business category. His procurement focus centers on NAICS 811310 (commercial and industrial machinery repair and maintenance) and NAICS 561621 (security systems services), indicating deep expertise in facility upkeep, preventive maintenance, and physical security infrastructure. He also regularly procures services under NAICS 334220 (communications equipment manufacturing) and 562910 (remediation services), demonstrating technical familiarity with hazardous material handling, environmental compliance, and defense-grade industrial operations.
