Scott Masterson

Scott Masterson serves as a Contract Negotiator responsible for executing complex procurement actions across aerospace and engineering domains. He plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while facilitating timely, cost-effective contract awards that meet mission-critical requirements. His portfolio primarily centers on the negotiation and administration of indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts, requirements-based task orders, and sole-source justifications for specialized technical services and aircraft components. Masterson works closely with program managers, legal counsel, and technical evaluators to align contractual terms with operational needs and regulatory standards. While specific contractor names are not available, Masterson regularly engages with a diverse pool of vendors, including prime contractors with deep expertise in aviation systems integration and engineering services firms specializing in design, analysis, and technical support. His negotiation patterns reflect a preference for established industry participants with proven track records in manufacturing precision aerospace parts and delivering engineering solutions under strict quality control frameworks. He fosters collaborative vendor relationships grounded in transparency, performance accountability, and adherence to FAR compliance protocols. Masterson demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with approximately one-third of his awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. He consistently prioritizes opportunities for small businesses without relying on other socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, indicating a strategic focus on broad-based small business engagement rather than targeted programs. His contracting approach supports the government’s objective of expanding competitive entry for small manufacturers and service providers in the aerospace sector. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336413, encompassing the acquisition of non-engineered aircraft parts, auxiliary equipment, and specialized aviation components, alongside NAICS 541330 for engineering services including systems design, testing, and technical consulting. This dual focus reflects deep expertise in both hardware procurement and technical support services critical to aviation modernization and sustainment efforts.
