Scott Killingsworth

Scott Killingsworth serves as a key procurement lead within the W6QK Acc-rsa under the Department of the Army, specializing in the acquisition of advanced aerospace and missile defense systems. He oversees complex contracting actions for mission-critical platforms including the UH-60 Black Hawk, AH-64 Apache, and guided missile systems, ensuring timely delivery of high-integrity aerospace technologies. His work directly supports the Army’s modernization priorities in aerial defense, avionics, propulsion, and sensor integration, with a focus on sustaining operational readiness through technically rigorous and compliant procurement processes. Killingsworth manages full lifecycle contracts from solicitation through award and performance oversight, prioritizing national security requirements and system interoperability. He maintains enduring relationships with prime contractors such as Lockheed Martin Corporation and Alaska Aerospace Corp, partnering with industry leaders capable of delivering high-performance guided missile systems, flight-critical components, and integrated aerospace solutions. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established defense contractors with proven track records in systems engineering, testing, and rapid fielding of complex platforms. These partnerships are characterized by long-term collaboration, technical alignment, and adherence to defense acquisition regulations, ensuring mission success across classified and unclassified programs. Killingsworth’s procurement portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on accessing the broadest possible industrial base capable of meeting the stringent technical and performance demands of Army aerospace programs, rather than prioritizing socioeconomic set-asides. His approach prioritizes capability, reliability, and schedule certainty over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with the high-stakes nature of missile and aircraft modernization efforts. His primary focus lies in NAICS 336414—Guided Missile and Space Vehicle Manufacturing—where he procures advanced munitions, guidance systems, launch platforms, and associated support services. His technical expertise spans propulsion, seeker technology, flight control systems, and electronic warfare integration, ensuring that acquisitions meet the evolving threats faced by U.S. aerial and missile defense forces.
