Scott Josey

Scott Josey serves as a key procurement professional within the Department of the Air Force, supporting the acquisition of critical aerospace and information systems essential to maintaining air superiority and space dominance. He manages engineering services contracts aligned with the Air Force’s modernization priorities, including the integration of next-generation avionics, secure C5ISRT architectures, and AI-enabled command and control capabilities. His work directly enables the development and sustainment of mission-critical platforms, ensuring technological edge through timely and compliant contracting practices. Josey operates within a high-stakes national defense environment, where precision in requirements definition and contract execution is paramount to operational readiness. His primary contractor relationships are centered on major defense prime contractors, particularly The Boeing Company and Lockheed Martin Corporation, with whom he collaborates on complex systems engineering and technical services. These partnerships involve long-term, high-complexity procurements requiring rigorous technical oversight, systems integration, and compliance with defense acquisition regulations. Josey’s contracting patterns reflect a reliance on established industry leaders with proven capabilities in aerospace systems development, reflecting the Air Force’s need for mature, scalable, and secure technological solutions. Josey’s procurement portfolio shows a 100% preference for unrestricted, full and open competition, with no set-asides designated for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic categories. This reflects the nature of the acquisitions he manages—highly specialized engineering services requiring advanced technical expertise and industrial base capacity that is currently concentrated among large, established defense contractors. His primary focus is on NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), encompassing systems engineering, technical analysis, integration support, and advanced modeling for aerospace and information systems. He procures services related to secure communications architecture, cyber-enabled command systems, and avionics modernization, demonstrating deep expertise in defense engineering domains critical to next-generation air and space operations.
