Brittany A Ballew

Brittany A. Ballew serves as a key procurement professional within the Department of the Air Force’s FA5004 354th Contracting Squadron, where she manages acquisitions critical to sustaining aerospace operations at remote and expeditionary airfields. Her responsibilities center on ensuring the readiness of mission-enabling infrastructure through the timely execution of construction and electrical systems contracts. She specializes in planning, soliciting, and awarding task orders that support airfield integrity, facility modernization, and preventive maintenance of industrial systems, aligning with the agency’s strategic focus on resilience and operational continuity. Ballew’s acquisitions are predominantly engineering-driven, requiring strict adherence to military construction standards and rapid-response logistics. She maintains a consistent working relationship with COMBAT MEDICAL SYSTEMS LLC, a primary contractor specializing in electrical infrastructure and wiring systems tailored to austere environments. Her procurement pattern reflects a preference for established vendors with proven expertise in expeditionary electrical installations, often leveraging pre-qualified contractor pools to accelerate delivery timelines while maintaining compliance with technical and safety specifications. These partnerships are characterized by long-term collaboration and performance-based contract management. Ballew’s contracting portfolio is fully committed to small business participation, with 100% of her awards set aside under FAR 19.5 for small businesses. This reflects a deliberate and sustained effort to maximize economic opportunity for small firms capable of delivering specialized electrical services in challenging operational contexts. Her approach reinforces the Department of the Air Force’s mandate to empower small business innovation while ensuring mission-critical outcomes. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 238210—Electrical Contractors and Other Wiring Installation Contractors—encompassing the installation, repair, and upgrade of power distribution systems, lighting networks, and emergency backup wiring in airfield and support facilities. She specializes in procuring services that meet MIL-STD and UFC requirements, ensuring compliance with military-grade electrical standards for reliability under high-stress operational conditions.
