Brock Sissel

Brock Sissel serves as Deputy Civil Engineer at the W7M9 USPFO Activity KS ARNG, a key operational unit within the Department of the Army responsible for sustaining military infrastructure readiness. In this role, he oversees the planning, procurement, and contract administration of civil engineering projects essential to mission-critical facility operations. His responsibilities include managing the acquisition of construction and renovation services for industrial and commercial buildings that house training, logistics, and operational units. Sissel ensures compliance with Army engineering standards and federal construction codes while aligning procurement activities with long-term force modernization goals. He works closely with project engineers, environmental specialists, and field commanders to translate operational needs into technically sound, competitively awarded contracts. Sissel’s contractor relationships are primarily with general contractors and specialty trade firms experienced in heavy industrial construction, including structural steel, concrete framing, mechanical systems integration, and site development. He engages with a broad base of qualified vendors capable of delivering complex, high-integrity facilities under stringent military specifications. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he consistently evaluates proposers based on past performance in military construction, safety compliance, and schedule reliability. His approach emphasizes competitive bidding and performance-based contract management to ensure accountability and mission success. Sissel’s procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of his acquisitions conducted without set-asides. This indicates a focus on technical capability and cost-effectiveness over socioeconomic classifications, though he remains compliant with all federal small business regulations. His approach prioritizes mission-critical outcomes, ensuring that qualified firms—regardless of size or certification—are evaluated on merit and capacity to deliver. His primary procurement focus is on NAICS 236210, Industrial Building Construction, encompassing the design-build and renovation of warehouses, maintenance shops, storage facilities, and training centers. He specializes in procurements requiring robust structural systems, heavy-duty flooring, HVAC for industrial environments, and compliance with DoD seismic and energy efficiency standards. Sissel’s technical expertise lies in the integration of military-specific operational requirements into civil construction contracts, ensuring facilities support sustained readiness and long-term durability.
