Brice’s contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor reliability, technical capability, and proven performance on prior naval projects, fostering collaborative, low-risk procurement environments. Brice’s procurement activity is exclusively conducted under open competition, with no set-asides applied to his portfolio. This reflects a strategic focus on maximizing technical competency and schedule certainty over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with the agency’s urgent infrastructure modernization imperatives. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in his contracting patterns, all procurements adhere strictly to full and open competition requirements under FAR Part 6. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 221122 (Electric Power Distribution) and 221210 (Natural Gas Distribution), indicating deep specialization in electrical substations, distribution networks, gas transmission lines, and related utility infrastructure. He procures turnkey design-build services, utility relocations, and energy system upgrades that support combat readiness and environmental compliance across naval installations.
