Brian H Sheehan

Brian H. Sheehan serves as a key procurement professional within the Department of the Air Force’s FA7014 office, supporting the sustainment and modernization of mission-critical Air Force capabilities through expert acquisition of professional and technical services. He manages a diverse portfolio of contracts centered on systems engineering and technical assistance (SETA), enterprise IT modernization, and cybersecurity infrastructure, ensuring alignment with Air Force readiness objectives. His work directly enables the agency’s strategic priorities by facilitating timely access to specialized technical expertise and administrative support services essential for operational continuity and innovation. Sheehan maintains established relationships with high-performing contractors including SIGMATECH, INC. and PURDUE UNIVERSITY, reflecting a preference for partners with deep domain expertise in defense-related technical services and research-driven solutions. His contracting patterns indicate a reliance on both commercial firms and academic institutions capable of delivering complex, non-commodity services such as data analytics, cybersecurity architecture, and mission support consulting. These partnerships are characterized by sustained engagement, repeat awards, and a focus on long-term technical capacity building rather than transactional procurement. His procurement strategy prioritizes open competition, with 80% of acquisitions conducted without set-asides, while maintaining a consistent 20% commitment to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This balance demonstrates a pragmatic approach to acquiring high-caliber services while actively fostering small business participation across socioeconomic categories, though no specific preference for 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs is evident in his award patterns. Sheehan’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), reflecting demand for specialized consulting, systems integration, and analytical support. He also regularly procures office administrative services, event promotion, and facility-related support, indicating a broad operational footprint that extends beyond core defense technical work to include mission-enabling services essential to daily agency function.
