Michelle E. Breitbach

Michelle E. Breitbach serves as a Contracting Officer for the W4MM USA Joint Munitions Command, where she plays a pivotal role in executing the Army’s lifecycle management of conventional ammunition and explosives. Responsible for full-cycle acquisition planning, solicitation, award, and contract administration, she ensures the timely procurement of mission-critical systems and services that sustain operational readiness across land, air, and naval forces. Her portfolio primarily supports modernization initiatives, supply chain resilience, and safe demilitarization efforts, with a focus on technical and operational services essential to munitions readiness. Breitbach cultivates strategic relationships with a diverse range of contractors, particularly those specializing in information technology, systems integration, and facility management services. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages firms with proven expertise in computer systems design, facilities management, and specialized wiring installations. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous compliance with federal acquisition regulations, and long-term vendor accountability to support mission continuity. Her procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for unrestricted competitions, with 92.9% of awards issued without set-asides, indicating a focus on broad market competition for mission-critical capabilities. However, she actively supports small business participation through 8(a) competed awards, which account for 7.1% of her portfolio, demonstrating a measured but intentional commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals without compromising operational urgency. Breitbach’s primary NAICS focus lies in IT and systems support services, with significant activity in Other Computer Related Services (541519), Computer Systems Design Services (541512), and Computer Facilities Management Services (541513). She also procures specialized electrical contracting services (238210) to maintain secure munitions infrastructure. Her expertise centers on integrating commercial IT solutions with defense-grade security standards, ensuring that digital and physical systems supporting munitions operations remain robust, secure, and interoperable.
