Brian Delong

Brian S. Delong serves as a Supervisory Contract Specialist, providing strategic oversight and operational guidance for federal acquisition activities within his organization. He ensures compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) while managing a diverse portfolio of service-based contracts, primarily in transportation, logistics, and technical support domains. His role involves leading contract planning, source selection, and post-award administration for complex procurements, ensuring alignment with agency mission objectives and statutory requirements. Delong’s expertise spans full lifecycle contract management, from needs assessment through contract closeout, with a focus on achieving value, accountability, and regulatory integrity. While specific contractor names are not available, Delong maintains consistent engagement with vendors specializing in freight transportation, warehousing, and testing services. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established industry providers with proven capacity in logistics infrastructure and technical compliance. He fosters collaborative relationships with both large primes and qualified small businesses, emphasizing performance-based outcomes and contract efficiency. His team routinely evaluates vendor capabilities through competitive solicitation processes, including RFQs and RFPs, to ensure market responsiveness and sound risk management. Delong demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with nearly 20% of his portfolio designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. While the majority of acquisitions remain open to all competitors, his consistent use of small business set-asides reflects a deliberate strategy to promote market access for small businesses without reliance on other socioeconomic programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. This pattern underscores a preference for broad-based small business participation over targeted certifications. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 484220 (Specialized Freight Trucking, Local), reflecting a heavy emphasis on ground logistics and regional freight movement. Additional activity centers on warehousing (493190), testing laboratories (541380), and facilities support services (561210), indicating expertise in operational support and supply chain enablement. He also oversees contracts related to heavy-duty truck manufacturing (336120), demonstrating technical familiarity with defense and transportation equipment procurement standards.
