Breysi Stephens

Breysi Stephens serves as a Contracting Officer for the 355th Contracting Squadron (FA4877) under the Department of the Air Force, where she manages the acquisition of mission-critical aerospace systems, avionics components, and maintenance services essential to sustaining airpower readiness. Her portfolio encompasses specialized procurement for aircraft parts, auxiliary equipment, and facility infrastructure supporting training and operational base functions. She ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning contract actions with the squadron’s strategic objectives to maintain combat-ready aircraft fleets and enable continuous operational tempo across expeditionary and home-station environments. Stephens maintains established working relationships with key contractors including MILLER ELECTRIC COMPANY INC., ATLANTIC PACIFIC STANDARD LLC, DAP CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT LLC, BSE PERFORMANCE, LLC, and LAVISH LIFE TECHNOLOGIES LLC. These partnerships reflect a balanced approach to sourcing—engaging both large-capacity industrial suppliers for complex technical systems and specialized firms delivering niche maintenance, construction, and technology solutions. Her contracting patterns emphasize reliability, technical precision, and performance-based outcomes, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in clear statement of work definitions and rigorous oversight. While the majority of her acquisitions are conducted as open competitions (71.8%), Stephens demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, consistently awarding 28.2% of contracts under Total Small Business Set-Asides in accordance with FAR 19.5. Her socioeconomic strategy prioritizes small business eligibility without reliance on 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, indicating a preference for broad-based small business engagement across diverse industries rather than targeted socioeconomic programs. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), reflecting deep expertise in sourcing flight-critical components and subsystems. She also regularly procures services under NAICS 811310 for industrial machinery repair and 332999 for fabricated metal products, demonstrating technical fluency in aerospace maintenance ecosystems and supporting infrastructure. Her domain knowledge spans avionics integration, mechanical systems, and facility support services critical to Air Force operational sustainability.
