Scott Rountree

Scott Rountree serves as a key procurement specialist within the Ok DLA Aviation at Oklahoma City, supporting the Defense Logistics Agency’s mission to sustain operational readiness of U.S. military aircraft systems. Though holding no formal title, his role is critical in executing the acquisition of specialized aviation components and auxiliary equipment essential for legacy and modern airframes, propulsion systems, and avionics. He facilitates contract actions under the NAICS 336413 classification, focusing on the procurement of non-standardized aircraft parts and support hardware that ensure fleet availability across DoD platforms. His work directly enables supply chain resilience by securing mission-critical spares and maintenance-ready components for high-priority aviation assets. Rountree maintains consistent contracting relationships with a core group of specialized suppliers, including Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, Aero International, LLC, Thomas Instrument, Incorporated, and Intertrade Limited. These vendors are selected for their technical expertise in manufacturing and certifying flight-critical aviation components, often under strict military specification standards. His procurement approach favors established industry partners with proven track records in aerospace logistics and DoD compliance, indicating a preference for reliable, qualified suppliers capable of meeting stringent quality and delivery requirements. His contracting patterns reflect a strong emphasis on open competition, with 83.3% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions, underscoring a focus on capability over socioeconomic categorization. However, he maintains a meaningful 16.7% allocation to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured commitment to small business participation without compromising mission-critical requirements. This balance ensures access to specialized capabilities while supporting broader socioeconomic goals. Rountree’s procurement focus is exclusively centered on NAICS 336413, encompassing the acquisition of other aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment, including avionics housings, actuation systems, and non-standardized support hardware. His technical domain expertise lies in sourcing components that support aircraft sustainment, repair, and overhaul cycles, requiring deep understanding of military aviation logistics, technical drawings, and MIL-SPEC compliance standards.
