Brittany A Ballew

Brittany A. Ballew supports the procurement mission of the Department of the Air Force’s FA5004 354 Cons Pk facility, where she manages acquisitions critical to sustaining aerospace operations at remote and expeditionary sites. Her work centers on securing infrastructure resilience, industrial equipment maintenance, and mission-enabling services that ensure airfield readiness and facility integrity. She handles a diverse portfolio of contracts spanning construction, equipment leasing, and technical testing services, often coordinating with field engineers and logistics teams to align procurement with operational timelines and readiness standards. Ballew maintains a consistent working relationship with Combat Medical Systems LLC, a key vendor providing specialized support for mission-critical systems. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established small business partners with proven capabilities in expeditionary environments, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in performance reliability and rapid response. She prioritizes vendors capable of delivering turnkey solutions for infrastructure upgrades and preventive maintenance under austere conditions. Her procurement strategy emphasizes robust small business participation, with 70% of awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and 20% reserved for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. This reflects a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals, ensuring equitable access for disadvantaged firms while maintaining mission-critical performance standards. She actively leverages set-aside authorities to expand the supplier base and enhance competition among qualified small entities. Ballew’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 237310 (highway, street, and bridge construction), 532412 (construction and mining equipment leasing), and 541380 (testing laboratories), with additional activity in specialized manufacturing and industrial equipment. She procures durable infrastructure components, field-deployable testing services, and heavy machinery essential for maintaining operational continuity in austere environments, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with aerospace support systems and expeditionary logistics.
