Brendon T. Bennett

Brendon T. Bennett serves as a Purchasing Agent for the W7NJ USPFO Activity MO ARNG, a Department of the Army unit responsible for sustaining readiness across Army National Guard and active-duty forces. In this role, he manages the acquisition of mission-critical logistics, aviation, and force support services, ensuring timely access to aircraft components, meal services, and facility infrastructure. His procurement activities directly support operational tempo by securing reliable, compliant, and mission-aligned supplies across continental U.S. installations. Bennett handles a diverse portfolio of commercial and government-unique acquisitions, balancing urgency with regulatory adherence under FAR and DFARS frameworks. He maintains longstanding relationships with key vendors including Columbia Helicopters, Inc., Axxeum Inc., Associated Aircraft Manufacturing & Sales, Inc., Crestwood Technology Group, LLC, and Brightwater UAG, LLC. These partnerships reflect a focus on specialized aviation support, technical maintenance, and integrated logistics solutions. Bennett’s contracting approach emphasizes vendor reliability, technical capability, and responsiveness to dynamic operational needs, fostering collaborative, performance-based vendor engagements that align with military readiness timelines. Bennett demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 75% of his acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This consistent preference underscores a deliberate strategy to maximize small business participation, particularly among service-disabled veteran-owned, HUBZone, and 8(a) certified firms. His procurement patterns reflect a deliberate alignment with Department of Defense goals to strengthen the small business industrial base while maintaining mission-critical supply chain resilience. His primary NAICS focus includes Truck Trailer Manufacturing (336212) and Hotels and Motels (721110), each representing 25% of his portfolio, alongside significant activity in Catering (722320), Books Printing (323117), and Conveyor Equipment Manufacturing (333922). This reflects a broad operational footprint requiring everything from transport and lodging to specialized printing and material handling systems, demonstrating expertise in managing complex, multi-domain procurement requirements for a high-tempo military support organization.
