Brian Fien

Brian Fien serves as a key procurement lead within the Commanding General’s office under the Department of the Navy, overseeing the acquisition of mission-critical maintenance, logistics, and specialized support services essential to naval and marine force readiness. His responsibilities center on ensuring operational continuity through the procurement of high-reliability equipment and infrastructure support across expeditionary and garrison environments. He manages a diverse portfolio of contracts spanning mechanical, electrical, and industrial systems, with a focus on sustaining combat systems, mobility assets, and mission-enabling hardware. His acquisitions are strategically aligned with the agency’s priorities in equipment reliability, system interoperability, and rapid deployment readiness. Fien maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including MANCON LLC, GEMINI TECH SERVICES LLC, CHEMBLE SOLUTIONS, LLC, MICROTECHNOLOGIES LLC, and SAELIG COMPANY, INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in technical maintenance, precision manufacturing, and specialized instrumentation. His contracting patterns indicate a reliance on established suppliers capable of delivering complex, mission-essential components under stringent military specifications, often requiring compliance with MIL-STD and other defense quality standards. While the majority of his acquisitions are open to full and open competition, nearly half are structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting. He consistently prioritizes small business participation, with a notable emphasis on firms qualified under general small business criteria rather than specialized designations like 8(a) or HUBZone. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 332410 (power boilers and heat exchangers), 334510 (electromedical apparatus), 334118 (computer peripherals), 333415 (commercial HVAC and refrigeration systems), and 332311 (prefabricated metal buildings). These categories reflect deep technical expertise in thermal management, electronic instrumentation, environmental control systems, and modular infrastructure—domains critical to sustaining naval operations in austere and high-demand environments.
