Scott Yeaple

Scott Yeaple serves as a secondary procurement liaison within the Department of the Air Force’s FA4610 30 Cons Pk facility, supporting the Space Systems Command’s mission to sustain critical infrastructure at Vandenberg Space Force Base. He facilitates acquisitions for facility maintenance, utilities systems, security services, and technical support essential to national security space operations. While not the primary contracting officer, Yeaple plays a vital role in coordinating requirements, validating technical specifications, and ensuring alignment with strategic modernization goals for aging infrastructure. His work directly enables the execution of complex, mission-critical contracts that maintain operational readiness across launch and test ranges. Yeaple regularly collaborates with a core group of contractors including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC for site infrastructure work, DIVERSE PEST MANAGEMENT for environmental compliance services, TECH O. R., LLC for specialized technical support, KING FREIGHT LLC for logistics coordination, and DARBONNIER TACTICAL SUPPLY LLC for mission-critical supply chain solutions. These partnerships reflect a pattern of engaging established vendors with proven capabilities in defense-adjacent environments, emphasizing reliability, regulatory compliance, and rapid response to operational needs. His procurement portfolio demonstrates a strong preference for small business participation, with over 56% of acquisitions set aside under FAR 19.5 for total small business contracting. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster local and niche vendors capable of delivering specialized services in support of remote, high-security installations. While no specific socioeconomic set-asides dominate, the consistent use of small business set-asides underscores a commitment to broad-based economic inclusion within the defense infrastructure sector. Yeaple’s acquisitions primarily focus on NAICS 811111 (automotive repair), 541512 (computer systems design), and 334515 (instrument manufacturing for electrical testing), indicating deep engagement with facility maintenance systems, data acquisition infrastructure, and test instrumentation. His technical domain expertise spans utility systems, communications equipment, and industrial machinery maintenance—key enablers for sustaining space launch readiness in austere operational environments.
