Scott G. Maitland

Scott G. Maitland serves as a Procuring Contracting Officer responsible for managing complex acquisitions in the technology and communications sectors. In this role, he ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while delivering mission-critical solutions that support national infrastructure and defense-related communications systems. He typically handles competitive sealed bidding and negotiated procurements under FAR Part 15, focusing on high-technical-risk requirements involving hardware, software, and telecommunications services. His work directly supports the agency’s objective of acquiring innovative, secure, and scalable solutions from a diverse vendor base. Maitland cultivates relationships with a broad spectrum of contractors, primarily those specializing in custom software development, wireless communications equipment, and satellite systems integration. He engages with both large prime contractors and mid-tier firms possessing deep technical expertise in RF systems, network infrastructure, and embedded firmware development. His procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and rigorous source selection criteria, ensuring solutions meet stringent technical and cybersecurity standards. He maintains a vendor-neutral stance, selecting contractors based on technical merit, past performance, and compliance with contractual obligations. Maitland’s contracting portfolio reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of his awards issued without set-aside designations. While he does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, he actively encourages small business participation through subcontracting opportunities and mentor-protégé arrangements. His approach aligns with agency-wide goals to maximize competition while maintaining technical integrity and mission readiness. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334220 for radio and television broadcasting equipment, 541511 for custom computer programming, and 541512 for computer systems design services, with additional emphasis on 517410 for satellite telecommunications.
