Joan C Brickey

Joan C. Brickey serves as a Contract Specialist within the U.S. Transportation Command (USTransCom), where she plays a critical role in executing the agency’s global mobility mission through the acquisition of mission-critical logistics and technology services. She manages the full lifecycle of contracts supporting expeditionary logistics, port and terminal operations, and rapid deployment capabilities across air, sea, land, and rail domains. Her portfolio primarily encompasses information technology services and equipment procurement aligned with DoD mobility requirements, ensuring seamless integration of commercial solutions into military operational environments. Brickey maintains consistent contracting relationships with key vendors including UNCOMN LLC, PHOENIX AIR GROUP, INC., RAMPART AVIATION, LLC, FANCIULLI EGISTO S.R.L., and MOUNTAIN AVIATION, LLC, reflecting a preference for specialized aviation, logistics, and IT service providers with proven expeditionary capabilities. Her working relationships emphasize performance-based outcomes, compliance with defense logistics standards, and vendor reliability in high-tempo, austere environments. She engages with both domestic and international contractors to meet USTransCom’s global operational tempo. While the majority of her acquisitions are conducted under open competition, Brickey actively supports small business participation, with approximately 25% of her portfolio designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. She demonstrates a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic contracting by prioritizing small business eligibility and ensuring equitable access for qualified vendors, though she does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides. Her procurement focus is heavily concentrated in NAICS 423430, 541511, and 541519, indicating a strong specialization in computer hardware and software wholesale distribution, custom programming, and broader IT support services. She routinely acquires secure, mission-ready computing systems, logistics software platforms, and integrated communication tools essential to sustaining global military mobility operations.
