These partnerships reflect a preference for contractors with proven expertise in aerospace-grade service delivery and mission-critical infrastructure support. A strong advocate for socioeconomic contracting, Brandt prioritizes Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides, which account for half of his award activity, alongside a balanced allocation to total small business set-asides and non-set-aside procurements.

His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 488190 (Other Support Activities for Air Transportation), reflecting his specialization in airfield and aviation infrastructure services, complemented by significant activity in NAICS 532490 (Commercial and Industrial Machinery Rental) and NAICS 562910 (Remediation Services). This technical domain expertise enables him to effectively manage complex acquisitions involving environmental remediation, equipment leasing, and specialized maintenance services critical to Air Force operational sustainment.
