Brett Hagen

Brett Hagen serves as a key acquisition professional within the Headquarters of Air Combat Command’s Acquisition Management Integration Center (FA4890), supporting the Department of the Air Force’s mission to sustain and modernize air dominance capabilities. He manages a portfolio of contracts focused on advanced flight training systems, command and control infrastructure, and mission-critical technical services essential to pilot readiness and tactical communications. His work directly enables combat-ready force development through the procurement of integrated training solutions and specialized aerospace components, aligning with the Air Force’s strategic priorities in air superiority and operational resilience. Hagen maintains consistent working relationships with core contractors including VETPRIDE-EMI Maintenance Solutions, LLC, MILTRAIN JV II LLC, and JBW FEDITC JV LLC, which provide specialized training simulation, maintenance support, and mission systems integration services. These partnerships reflect a pattern of collaboration with joint ventures and experienced defense contractors capable of delivering complex, high-fidelity training environments and mission-critical hardware. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and technical interoperability across legacy and next-generation platforms. While the majority of his acquisitions are unrestricted, Hagen demonstrates a deliberate 25% commitment to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a structured effort to engage qualified small businesses in the defense acquisition ecosystem. His socioeconomic contracting patterns prioritize broad-based small business participation without reliance on specific set-aside programs like 8(a) or HUBZone, favoring instead competitive small business opportunities aligned with technical capability. His primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 611512 (Flight Training), with significant activity in synthetic rubber manufacturing (325212) and guided missile and space vehicle parts (336419). This technical specialization underscores his expertise in procuring advanced training simulators, avionics components, and specialized materials critical to aircraft sustainment and weapons system readiness.
