Scott R Youngblood

Scott R. Youngblood serves as the primary contracting officer for the Naval Supply Systems Command Weapon Systems Support Mechanism (NAVSUP WSS Mech), where he oversees the acquisition of mission-critical mechanical, electrical, and electronic components essential to sustaining U.S. Navy weapon systems. His portfolio centers on procuring high-reliability subsystems including pumping equipment, valve assemblies, precision fasteners, and circuitry components used in the maintenance, repair, and modernization of naval platforms. With a focus on operational readiness, Youngblood ensures timely delivery of components that meet stringent military specifications, coordinating with engineering and logistics teams to align procurement with fleet sustainment priorities. He maintains consistent working relationships with leading defense contractors, most notably Raytheon Company, which is frequently awarded contracts for complex electro-mechanical systems, alongside AMD International Technologies LLC and The Entwistle Company LLC for precision manufacturing and specialized hardware. These partnerships reflect a preference for established defense industrial base vendors with proven track records in military-grade component fabrication and quality assurance under AS9100 and MIL-STD standards. Youngblood’s contracting activity is overwhelmingly non-set-aside, with 98.4% of awards issued under full and open competition, reflecting the technical complexity and specialized nature of the procurements. Only 1.6% are designated as total small business set-asides, indicating a strategic emphasis on capability over socioeconomic preference, though small business participation remains possible through subcontracting or teaming arrangements. His procurement focus is heavily concentrated in NAICS 332919 (Other Metal Valve and Pipe Fitting Manufacturing), followed by 332722 (Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, and Washer Manufacturing), underscoring deep expertise in mechanical subsystems. He also regularly acquires pumping equipment (333914) and current-carrying wiring devices (335931), demonstrating technical fluency in fluid dynamics, pressure control systems, and electrical interconnects critical to naval weapon system integrity.
