His portfolio centers on facility maintenance, infrastructure resilience, and logistics support services essential to military community operations, particularly in European theaters. He oversees the full lifecycle of procurement actions—from requirements validation and market research to contract award and performance monitoring—ensuring alignment with Army installation sustainment priorities. His acquisitions primarily support airfield operations, utility systems, building infrastructure, and specialized equipment servicing, requiring deep coordination with engineering, logistics, and installation management teams. MAJ Sullivan maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including PAE Applied Technologies LLC and BSH HUISHODAPPARATEN B.V., leveraging their technical expertise in facility operations and industrial equipment supply. His procurement patterns reflect a preference for established, globally recognized vendors capable of delivering complex, mission-essential services across austere and deployed environments.

MAJ Sullivan’s contracting activity reflects a 100% non-set-aside procurement posture, with no use of 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic set-asides. His approach prioritizes mission necessity and vendor capability over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with the operational urgency and technical specificity of Army garrison support missions. While small business participation is not formally targeted, his awards remain open to all qualified vendors under full and open competition. His primary NAICS focus areas are 561612 (Security Guards and Patrol Services) and 423830 (Industrial Machinery and Equipment Merchant Wholesalers), reflecting his specialization in physical security operations and the procurement of heavy-duty industrial equipment critical to infrastructure maintenance. He routinely acquires security systems, facility maintenance tools, HVAC components, and specialized military-grade machinery, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with Army installation engineering requirements.
