Scott Ostrow

Scott Ostrow serves as a Contracts Specialist within the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), where he plays a critical role in executing the lifecycle acquisition of naval aviation systems. Responsible for managing complex contract actions across the full spectrum of procurement phases—from solicitation and source selection to contract award and administration—he supports NAVAIR’s mission to sustain air superiority through the modernization and integration of carrier-based and expeditionary aircraft, avionics, and weapons systems. His portfolio primarily encompasses aerospace manufacturing, logistics support, and systems engineering services, ensuring alignment with operational readiness requirements and defense acquisition regulations. Ostrow maintains consistent working relationships with leading defense prime contractors including Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation, and General Atomics, partnering with organizations that deliver advanced aircraft platforms, mission systems, and sustainment solutions. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical compliance, and risk mitigation, fostering long-term vendor collaboration on high-priority programs such as rotary-wing platforms, unmanned aerial systems, and integrated avionics upgrades. He engages primarily with large, established defense contractors with proven track records in delivering mission-critical aerospace capabilities. His contracting activity reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of awards issued under no set-aside classifications. This indicates a strategic focus on leveraging industry-wide technical expertise rather than socioeconomic set-asides, aligning with NAVAIR’s need for rapid, scalable solutions from established aerospace and defense innovators. Ostrow’s procurement focus centers on NAICS 336411 (Aircraft Manufacturing) and 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), with significant activity in 541614 (Logistics Consulting) and 541512 (Computer Systems Design). He routinely procures integrated avionics, flight control systems, maintenance logistics frameworks, and mission planning software, demonstrating deep technical fluency in naval aviation systems engineering and digital modernization initiatives.
