Rebecca Behne

Rebecca Behne serves as a key procurement lead within the FA4613 90 Cons Pk unit of the Department of the Air Force, responsible for managing complex acquisitions that sustain critical missile field and launch facility infrastructure. Her work directly supports the Air Force’s nuclear deterrence mission by ensuring the operational readiness of remote, high-security installations, including command centers, utility systems, and hardened launch sites. She oversees a diverse portfolio of contracts involving industrial equipment, precision maintenance, and secure communications systems, often requiring specialized technical expertise and compliance with stringent defense standards. Her acquisitions are mission-critical, emphasizing reliability, resilience, and long-term sustainment over commercial off-the-shelf solutions. Behne maintains consistent partnerships with a select group of specialized contractors, including Olgoonik Specialty Contractors, LLC, Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, and SafeWare Inc. These vendors are frequently engaged for their proven capabilities in remote site maintenance, secure electronic system repair, and mission-specific industrial equipment integration. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for long-term, performance-based agreements with firms possessing deep domain knowledge in defense infrastructure, often requiring security clearances and experience operating in austere environments. Her procurement strategy is heavily oriented toward small business participation, with 94.7% of awards set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate commitment to fostering competition among small, technically proficient firms capable of meeting the unique demands of nuclear infrastructure sustainment. While specific socioeconomic categories are not disclosed, the high set-aside rate signals strong alignment with broader DoD goals to expand opportunities for small, agile vendors in the national security supply chain. Behne’s primary NAICS focus areas include industrial machinery manufacturing (333248), electronic equipment repair (811210), and wireless communications manufacturing (334220), underscoring her technical specialization in mission-critical hardware, embedded systems, and secure communication infrastructure. She procures ruggedized industrial equipment, precision maintenance services, and hardened communications gear tailored for deployment in remote, high-threat environments, demonstrating deep expertise in defense-specific engineering and logistics domains.
