SSgt Brennan Pedraza

SSgt Brennan Pedraza serves as a procurement specialist within the DCSO-Richmond Division #3 under the Defense Logistics Agency, supporting mission-critical infrastructure sustainment for Department of Defense operations. Responsible for managing acquisitions of specialized technical services and equipment, Pedraza ensures compliance with federal contracting regulations while advancing the agency’s priorities in building systems integrity, environmental control, and operational readiness. Their portfolio primarily encompasses contracts for facility modernization, security services, and technical support systems, requiring deep familiarity with defense-specific procurement protocols and performance-based contracting standards. Pedraza maintains collaborative relationships with a diverse range of vendors, particularly small businesses certified under socioeconomic programs, fostering partnerships that align with the agency’s emphasis on resilience and innovation. While no single contractor dominates the award profile, the contracting pattern reflects a preference for agile, niche providers capable of delivering tailored solutions in cybersecurity, facility maintenance, and specialized manufacturing. Vendor engagement is characterized by transparent solicitation processes and a focus on performance metrics tied to mission outcomes. A strong advocate for small business inclusion, Pedraza consistently prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Asides, with 87.5% of acquisitions reserved under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to cultivate a robust small business industrial base, with frequent use of 8(a), HUBZone, and SDVOSB set-asides to promote equitable access to defense contracting opportunities. Their approach reinforces the DLA’s broader commitment to socioeconomic diversity and long-term supply chain sustainability. Pedraza’s procurement focus centers on NAICS categories including 512110 (Motion Picture and Video Production), used for training and simulation systems; 334112 (Computer Storage Device Manufacturing) for secure data infrastructure; 315210 (Cut and Sew Apparel Contractors) for specialized protective gear; 561611 (Investigation and Background Check Services) for personnel security; and 334510 (Electromedical Apparatus Manufacturing) for health monitoring equipment. This eclectic mix underscores expertise in procuring dual-use technologies that bridge operational, security, and health readiness domains within constrained defense environments.
