Scott Young

Scott Young serves as a key procurement professional within the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard Gf, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to sustain and modernize naval vessels through specialized industrial and logistical contracting. He manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on shipbuilding, maintenance of critical mechanical systems, and industrial support services essential to submarine and surface vessel readiness. His work spans the full lifecycle of contract execution—from requirement validation and market research to award and performance oversight—ensuring alignment with naval engineering standards and defense acquisition regulations. He routinely handles complex, high-integrity procurements involving precision components, specialized equipment, and mission-critical support services. Young maintains strategic relationships with leading defense and industrial contractors, including Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation for advanced fabrication and repair services, United Rentals for heavy equipment logistics, and Kardex Remstar for automated material handling systems. He also partners with specialized service providers such as BSE Performance and Patriot Global Lodging to support workforce and facility operations. His contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, performance-based outcomes, and compliance with naval industrial base standards, fostering reliable supply chains for mission-essential components. His procurement strategy reflects a strong commitment to socioeconomic goals, with over half of his awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, complemented by targeted 8(a) competed contracts. This pattern underscores a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for small, disadvantaged, and veteran-owned businesses while maintaining technical excellence across the industrial support ecosystem. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 532490 (equipment leasing and rental), NAICS 611699 (industrial instruction and technical training), and NAICS 336611 (shipbuilding and repair), reflecting his expertise in acquiring industrial machinery, workforce development services, and naval fabrication capabilities. He frequently procures specialized instruments for process control, maintenance tools, and technical training solutions critical to sustaining the shipyard’s operational tempo and workforce competency.
