Briana Mayfield

Briana Mayfield serves as a key procurement professional within the Defense Logistics Agency’s Energy Directorate (SPE605), responsible for managing strategic energy logistics contracts that sustain global military operations. Her role centers on securing reliable fuel supply chains through complex acquisition programs involving petroleum-based fuels, natural gas infrastructure, and related support services. She oversees full lifecycle contract actions—from market research and solicitation to award and performance monitoring—ensuring alignment with DoD energy security priorities and operational readiness requirements. Her acquisitions are mission-critical, directly enabling the mobility and operational endurance of U.S. armed forces worldwide. Mayfield’s contracting portfolio is dominated by long-term partnerships with Qatar Fuel (WOQOD) and United Capital Investments Group, both of which provide essential fuel logistics and distribution capabilities in high-priority operational theaters. These relationships reflect a preference for established, global energy service providers with proven capacity to deliver under austere conditions. Her contracting patterns indicate a focus on performance-based, outcome-driven agreements that emphasize supply chain resilience, just-in-time delivery, and infrastructure interoperability across joint force domains. There is no use of socioeconomic set-asides in her acquisition portfolio; all contracts are awarded on a full and open basis. This reflects a deliberate strategy to prioritize operational speed, scale, and global vendor capacity over socioeconomic preferences, ensuring uninterrupted fuel flow to forward-deployed units regardless of location or threat environment. Her procurement activity is exclusively classified under NAICS 488210—Support Activities for Rail Transportation—indicating a specialized focus on rail-based fuel logistics, including terminal handling, railcar leasing, loading/unloading infrastructure, and integrated transportation coordination. This niche expertise underscores her deep understanding of multimodal energy distribution systems and the critical role rail networks play in sustaining large-scale military fuel operations.
