Eric Brelia

Eric Brelia serves as a key procurement professional within the FA2823 AFTC PZIO, a specialized unit of the Department of the Air Force responsible for advancing airborne and ground-based sensing, communication, and test instrumentation systems. He manages acquisitions critical to modernizing aerospace test and evaluation infrastructure, with a focus on high-precision measurement and control systems for avionics, electronic warfare, and signal intelligence platforms. His portfolio encompasses complex technical contracts requiring deep domain expertise in electromagnetic compatibility, signal processing, and real-time data acquisition systems, ensuring mission readiness through cutting-edge instrumentation. Brelia maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of contractors, including TOM HAMMONDS ENTERPRISES, LLC, STREET LEGAL INDUSTRIES, INC, SPEEGLE CONSTRUCTION, INC, DETECT INC, and THE CONTROLS COMPANY, LLC. These partnerships reflect a blend of niche engineering firms specializing in test equipment fabrication, ruggedized electronics, and specialized construction for test range infrastructure. His contracting patterns indicate a preference for vendors with proven capabilities in defense-grade instrumentation, electromagnetic shielding, and field-deployable test systems, suggesting a reliance on suppliers with prior DoD experience and technical certifications. His procurement strategy demonstrates balanced socioeconomic engagement, with equal distribution among no set-aside, total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and 8(a) competed contracts. This reflects a deliberate effort to foster competition while actively promoting opportunities for small disadvantaged businesses, aligning with Air Force initiatives to diversify the defense industrial base. Brelia’s primary acquisition focus lies in NAICS 334515—Instrument Manufacturing for Measuring and Testing Electricity and Electrical Signals—indicating heavy investment in custom test equipment, signal analyzers, and calibration systems. A secondary focus on NAICS 337214 suggests procurement of specialized, non-wood office furniture for mission-critical test facilities. His work underscores deep technical expertise in electronic test and measurement domains essential to Air Force aerospace systems development.
