Chris A. Breeling

Chris A. Breeling serves as a key procurement professional within the W071 Endist Omaha office under the Department of the Army, overseeing the acquisition of critical infrastructure and support services essential to national defense readiness. Responsible for managing complex construction and engineering contracts, Breeling ensures the delivery of hardened facilities, utility corridors, and mission-critical systems that sustain strategic deterrence operations. His portfolio emphasizes heavy civil engineering, facility modernization, and integrated base infrastructure, aligning directly with the agency’s mission to maintain and enhance the physical environments supporting nuclear deterrence and military training. He routinely handles competitive solicitations under FAR Part 36 and manages the full lifecycle of construction-related procurements from requirements development to contract closeout. Breeling maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized contractors, including JOHN BOWMAN, INC., PAF ELECTRICAL, INC., and HENDRICKSON TRANSPORTATION LLC, among others. These partnerships reflect a focus on firms with proven expertise in heavy construction, electrical systems, heavy-haul logistics, and industrial equipment supply. His contracting patterns favor long-term, performance-based engagements with vendors who demonstrate technical proficiency in defense-grade infrastructure and compliance with military construction standards, fostering reliable, mission-aligned vendor relationships. A strong advocate for small business participation, Breeling consistently prioritizes socioeconomic set-asides, with 62.5% of his acquisitions designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 and an additional 12.5% allocated to 8(a) competed contracts. This reflects a deliberate strategy to cultivate a diverse supplier base, promote economic opportunity, and leverage the innovation and agility of small businesses within the defense industrial base. His procurement focus centers on NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), with significant activity in roofing (238160), engineering services (541330), and industrial equipment wholesale (423830).
