Riley J. DeBrock

Riley J. DeBrock serves as a Contract Specialist within the W4MM USA Joint Munitions Command, a critical component of the Department of Defense responsible for the lifecycle management of conventional ammunition and explosives. In this role, DeBrock executes full-cycle procurement actions for mission-critical munitions-related supplies and services, ensuring alignment with Army operational readiness requirements. Their work spans acquisition planning, solicitation development, contract award, and post-award administration for industrial goods supporting the production, storage, and demilitarization of munitions systems. DeBrock operates within a high-stakes, compliance-driven environment governed by FAR, DFARS, and DoD-specific procurement policies, prioritizing timely delivery of safe, reliable materiel to warfighters across land, air, and naval domains. DeBrock maintains collaborative relationships with a diverse base of industrial suppliers, primarily engaged in precision manufacturing and defense logistics. While no single contractor dominates the portfolio, the specialist consistently engages with small and mid-tier manufacturers specializing in defense-grade components, including fasteners, welding equipment, and protective coatings. Vendor partnerships are characterized by technical collaboration, strict adherence to military specifications, and rigorous quality assurance protocols. DeBrock fosters transparent, performance-based contracting relationships that emphasize accountability and supply chain resilience. A strong advocate for small business participation, DeBrock consistently structures procurements to maximize opportunities under the Total Small Business Set-Aside program (FAR 19.5), with 36% of acquisitions reserved for small businesses. This reflects a deliberate strategy to cultivate a robust, competitive vendor base and enhance industrial base diversity. While no specific socioeconomic set-asides like 8(a) or HUBZone are predominant, the overall preference for small business contracting underscores a commitment to equitable access and workforce development within the defense industrial base. DeBrock’s procurement focus centers on key NAICS categories including 333992 (welding and soldering equipment), 332722 (fastener manufacturing), and 325510 (paint and coating production), reflecting expertise in procuring specialized materials and components essential to munitions assembly and storage. Their technical domain knowledge includes metallurgical standards, explosive-safe packaging, and corrosion-resistant coatings, ensuring acquisitions meet stringent DoD performance and safety requirements.
