Scott J Petrin

Scott J. Petrin serves as a key procurement lead within the Department of the Air Force’s FA5004 354th Contracting Squadron, responsible for managing acquisitions that sustain and modernize expeditionary airfield infrastructure and mission-enabling systems. He oversees a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on facility resilience, preventive maintenance of industrial equipment, and rapid deployment of operational support assets. His work directly supports the Air Force’s strategic imperative to maintain combat-ready infrastructure at remote and forward-deployed locations, ensuring continuous aerospace operations through timely and compliant contracting actions. Petrin routinely handles service-based acquisitions under FAR Part 12 and Part 37, with emphasis on performance-based contracting and outcome-driven deliverables. Petrin maintains a consistent working relationship with Combat Medical Systems LLC, a primary contractor delivering specialized support services aligned with expeditionary operational needs. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in logistics, facility maintenance, and mission-critical systems integration. He fosters long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance accountability and compliance with military standards, often leveraging indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles to ensure responsive support across dynamic operational environments. Petrin demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 60% of his acquisitions set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5. His procurement strategy prioritizes broad-based socioeconomic inclusion, consistently awarding contracts to small disadvantaged, women-owned, and HUBZone firms alongside general small business concerns. This pattern reflects a deliberate effort to enhance competition, stimulate local economic resilience, and align with Department of Defense mandates for equitable contracting opportunities. His primary NAICS focus spans Other General Government Support, Custom Computer Programming Services, Furniture Merchant Wholesalers, and Colleges, Universities, and Professional Schools. This reflects a unique blend of administrative, technical, and logistical procurement needs—from IT system customization and facility furnishings to training and institutional support services—highlighting his expertise in managing complex, cross-domain acquisitions that bridge operational readiness with administrative sustainability.
