Brittany M. De Laine

Brittany M. De Laine serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of complex procurement actions, from requirement analysis and market research through solicitation, evaluation, award, and contract administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning acquisitions with mission-critical technical needs. Her portfolio primarily encompasses high-precision industrial and electronic components, with a focus on advanced manufacturing and defense-related systems. She routinely handles competitive sealed bidding and negotiated procurements under FAR Part 15, emphasizing technical merit and value-based selection criteria. De Laine engages with a diverse base of industrial suppliers and specialty manufacturers, particularly those with expertise in precision engineering and electronic component fabrication. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently collaborates with mid-tier and niche manufacturers capable of meeting stringent technical specifications for aerospace, defense, and industrial automation applications. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous technical evaluations, and clear statement of work development to ensure deliverables meet operational requirements. Her procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her awards issued without set-asides. This indicates a focus on technical capability over socioeconomic classifications, though she remains compliant with all small business program requirements. Her approach prioritizes market readiness and production capacity, ensuring that even non-set-aside awards support a robust and resilient industrial base. De Laine’s primary NAICS focus areas include motor and generator manufacturing, printed circuit board fabrication, speed changer and gear manufacturing, and the production of advanced navigation and guidance systems. She specializes in procuring mission-critical electronic components and electromechanical assemblies used in high-reliability environments, demonstrating deep familiarity with MIL-STD specifications, IPC standards, and quality assurance protocols essential to defense and aerospace supply chains.
