Jean Paul Bretz

Jean Paul Bretz is a Contract Specialist who serves in a secondary role within the procurement office. In this capacity, he supports the agency's acquisition mission by managing the administrative and technical requirements of the contracting process, ensuring that procurement actions align with federal regulations and agency goals. Regarding set-aside preferences, the procurement patterns indicate a primary reliance on full and open competitions, with no set-aside designations applied to the majority of actions. However, there is a documented commitment to small business participation, with a notable percentage of awards directed toward Total Small Business Set-Asides, Women-Owned Small Businesses, and the SBA Certified Economically Disadvantaged WOSB program, as well as occasional 8(a) sole source acquisitions. The technical focus of this office is heavily concentrated in specialized electronic and electrical manufacturing. Primary procurement activity centers on current-carrying wiring device manufacturing and power, distribution, and specialty transformer manufacturing. Additionally, there is significant expertise in the acquisition of bare printed circuit boards, as well as search, detection, navigation, guidance, aeronautical, and nautical system and instrument manufacturing, including parts and auxiliary equipment for guided missiles and space vehicles.
