Bryan D. Nice

Bryan D. Nice serves as a Contract Specialist at the Defense Logistics Agency’s DLA Distribution, where he plays a pivotal role in executing acquisition strategies that sustain the Department of Defense’s global supply chain. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of contracts—from solicitation and source selection to award and administration—he ensures timely delivery of critical materiel and infrastructure support services essential to military readiness. His portfolio primarily encompasses facilities support, packaging, and construction-related procurements aligned with DLA’s mission to maintain operational resilience through efficient logistics and standardized warehousing solutions. Mr. Nice maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including KINGSLEY BUILDERS, INC., SOUZA CONSTRUCTION, INC., CONSTRUCTICON CORP, VET CON SOUZA, and SDC TIDEWATER JV, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in construction, site preparation, and industrial packaging. His contracting patterns demonstrate a focus on long-term vendor reliability and performance-based outcomes, often leveraging firm-fixed-price and cost-reimbursement structures to mitigate risk while ensuring mission-critical deliverables. While the majority of his acquisitions are conducted as unrestricted procurements, Mr. Nice actively supports small business participation, with approximately 25% of his awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. He demonstrates a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic contracting by consistently including qualified small businesses in competitive solicitations, though he does not routinely employ 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB-specific set-asides. His primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 561210 (Facilities Support Services), with significant activity in corrugated box manufacturing (322211), oil and gas pipeline construction (237120), metal window and door manufacturing (332321), and site preparation (238910). This diverse technical portfolio underscores his expertise in procuring both industrial packaging solutions and infrastructure support services critical to defense logistics operations.
