Taylor Bowersox

Taylor Bowersox supports the procurement operations of DLA Disposition Services Headquarters, playing a critical role in executing the Department of Defense’s mission to responsibly manage and dispose of excess, surplus, and unwanted military property. Responsible for facilitating lawful, environmentally compliant, and economically efficient disposal channels, Bowersox handles acquisitions related to the recovery, recycling, and redistribution of metallic and non-metallic scrap materials generated from military demilitarization and decommissioning activities. Their work directly enables the agency’s strategic priorities of resource recovery and sustainable asset management through competitive contracting mechanisms aligned with federal waste reduction and circular economy goals. Bowersox maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including KUWAIT ULTRA GENERAL CONTRACTING COMPANY, HUB SCRAP METALS, LLC, and EASTERN SURPLUS & EQUIPMENT CO., all of which specialize in the collection, processing, and resale of military scrap and surplus materials. These partnerships are primarily transactional and performance-based, centered on logistics, material handling, and environmental compliance in the disposition of hazardous and non-hazardous waste streams. The working relationships reflect a focus on vendors with proven capabilities in demilitarization support, scrap metallurgy, and regulatory adherence under DoD and EPA frameworks. Bowersox’s contracting activity shows a 100% preference for open, non-set-aside competitions, indicating a procurement strategy prioritizing broad market access and price competitiveness over socioeconomic set-asides. While no awards have been designated for 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, this reflects the nature of the acquisitions—large-scale, high-volume scrap disposition requiring specialized industrial infrastructure rather than small business-capable services. The procurement focus centers on industrial waste management and scrap recovery services, aligning with NAICS categories related to solid waste collection, scrap material processing, and environmental remediation. Bowersox’s technical expertise lies in managing contracts for the handling of ferrous and non-ferrous metals, electronic waste, and other demilitarized materials, ensuring compliance with DoD environmental standards and maximizing material recovery value.
