Benjamin Breidigan

Benjamin Breidigan serves as a primary contracting professional within the Defense Logistics Agency’s Land and Maritime division (SPE7M1), responsible for managing the acquisition of mission-critical mechanical, electrical, and fabricated metal components that sustain naval, land, and expeditionary military systems. His work directly supports operational readiness by procuring high-reliability parts including industrial valves, power transmission equipment, sealing devices, and ordnance accessories. He oversees the full lifecycle of competitive procurements under FAR and DFARS guidelines, ensuring timely delivery of components essential to the functionality of ships, armored vehicles, and field-deployed platforms. Breidigan maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of established suppliers, including TRIMAN INDUSTRIES INC, ECI DEFENSE GROUP, ITL LLC, KAMPI COMPONENTS CO INC, and ASRC FEDERAL FACILITIES LOGISTICS. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in defense-grade manufacturing, precision fabrication, and military-specification compliance. His contracting patterns emphasize long-term reliability and technical certification over transactional sourcing, fostering collaborative vendor engagement to meet stringent defense performance standards. His procurement portfolio is overwhelmingly dominated by open, unrestricted competitions, with 90.7% of awards issued without set-aside designations. Small business participation is modest but targeted, with 7.4% allocated to total small business set-asides and minimal but consistent use of HUBZone and service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) set-asides, indicating a pragmatic approach that prioritizes technical capability while maintaining statutory compliance. Breidigan’s primary technical focus lies in electronic component manufacturing (NAICS 334419), current-carrying wiring devices (335931), and switchgear manufacturing (335313), with secondary emphasis on metal valve and pipe fitting production (332919) and printed circuit assembly (334418). His expertise centers on sourcing precision-engineered components for high-voltage systems, control circuits, and fluid-handling assemblies used in military platforms, demonstrating deep familiarity with defense electronics and mechanical subsystems.
