Brandon J Clifford

Brandon J. Clifford serves as a Contract Specialist within the Department of the Air Force’s FA7014 office, responsible for managing the full lifecycle of professional services acquisitions that support Air Force operational readiness. He plays a critical role in executing contracts aligned with the agency’s mission to modernize enterprise IT, enhance cybersecurity infrastructure, and deliver systems engineering and technical assistance (SETA). His portfolio primarily consists of administrative and management consulting services, with a focus on mission-critical analytical support and technical advisory contracts that enable strategic decision-making across Air Force commands. Clifford maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including SIGMATECH, INC. and PURDUE UNIVERSITY, partnering with firms that provide high-level technical expertise in systems integration, data analytics, and defense-oriented research. His procurement approach emphasizes collaboration with organizations capable of delivering specialized, non-commodity services that align with Air Force modernization priorities. He engages with both commercial consultants and academic research entities, fostering long-term vendor partnerships rooted in technical excellence and mission alignment. His contracting patterns reflect a strong commitment to socioeconomic diversity, with 20% of awards designated for Women-Owned Small Businesses and another 20% set aside for Total Small Business under FAR 19.5. While the majority of acquisitions are unrestricted, his consistent use of small business set-asides demonstrates a deliberate effort to expand opportunity for qualified small firms in the defense services sector. Clifford’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541611, Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services, where he sources expertise in organizational efficiency, program management, and defense-specific advisory services. Though NAICS 721110 appears in his portfolio, it reflects ancillary support services tied to mission-enabling facilities. His technical domain expertise centers on enterprise IT modernization, cybersecurity enablement, and mission analytics, ensuring that contracted services directly enhance Air Force operational capability.
