Scott Koslow

Scott Koslow serves as a Contract Specialist within the Commanding Officer’s office (N63394) under the Department of the Navy, where he manages the acquisition of mission-critical aerospace components, electronic warfare systems, and engineering services essential to sustaining naval aviation readiness. His role centers on executing full lifecycle procurement actions for complex technical requirements, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning acquisitions with the Navy’s modernization priorities in electronic assembly, sensor integration, and cybersecurity-enabled communications. Koslow routinely handles sole-source, competitive, and sealed bid contracts for high-integrity systems requiring rigorous technical validation and supply chain assurance. His primary contractor relationships are anchored with industry leaders such as Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, and Lockheed Martin Corporation, with whom he collaborates on advanced electronic component manufacturing and integrated avionics solutions. These partnerships reflect a strategic focus on established defense prime contractors capable of delivering high-reliability systems under stringent military specifications. While the majority of his portfolio supports large-tier vendors, Koslow maintains a consistent engagement with smaller, specialized firms to address niche technical gaps in electronic assembly and mission-critical engineering services. Koslow’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 80% of awards issued without set-asides. However, he actively supports small business participation through Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, consistently reserving approximately 20% of opportunities for small businesses, including those certified under SBA programs. His approach balances operational urgency with socioeconomic objectives, ensuring small businesses contribute meaningfully to the Navy’s technical ecosystem without compromising mission performance. His procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services) and 334419 (Other Electronic Component Manufacturing), reflecting deep expertise in avionics integration, sensor system development, and mission-specific electronics. He also procures specialized guided missile and space vehicle components under NAICS 336419, demonstrating proficiency in defense aerospace supply chains and systems engineering support. Koslow’s work directly enables the Navy’s operational edge through precision acquisition of technologically advanced, combat-ready systems.
