Michael Brice

Michael Brice serves as a secondary contracting professional within Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC) Mid-Atlantic, supporting the acquisition of mission-critical infrastructure projects across Navy and Marine Corps installations in the Mid-Atlantic region. While not the primary contracting officer, he plays a vital role in facilitating the planning, design, and construction procurement lifecycle, ensuring alignment with federal standards and operational readiness goals. His responsibilities include supporting complex construction and utility infrastructure contracts, particularly those involving electric power distribution systems, and coordinating with project engineers and program managers to translate technical requirements into compliant solicitation documents and contract actions. Brice routinely collaborates with a core group of established contractors including Ryan Construction Co. Inc., Weeks-Cashman JV, Appledore Marine – CH2M JV, W.M. Jordan Company, Incorporated, and McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced, large-scale construction and engineering firms capable of executing high-complexity, mission-essential projects under stringent military standards. His working relationships are characterized by consistency, long-term engagement, and reliance on vendors with proven track records in naval infrastructure delivery. All acquisitions under his support are awarded without set-asides, indicating a focus on full and open competition to ensure access to the broadest pool of technical capability. This approach underscores a prioritization of mission performance and schedule certainty over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with the agency’s need for rapid, reliable infrastructure delivery. His procurement activity is exclusively concentrated in NAICS 221122 (Electric Power Distribution), reflecting deep specialization in electrical grid modernization, substation upgrades, utility transmission systems, and mission-critical power infrastructure for naval bases. This technical focus requires expertise in federal construction codes, utility interconnection standards, and energy resilience requirements essential to sustaining combat-ready installations.
