Stacy J. Braaten

Stacy J. Braaten serves as a Purchasing Technician at W071 Endist Omaha under the Department of the Army, supporting the acquisition of critical infrastructure and operational support services essential to military readiness. In this role, she facilitates the execution of procurement actions aligned with the agency’s mission to sustain and modernize defense installations, including hardened facilities, utility systems, and training environments. Braaten manages a broad spectrum of non-construction acquisitions, primarily in professional services, environmental support, and specialized equipment procurement, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and timely delivery of mission-critical resources. She maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including JOHN BOWMAN, INC., PAF ELECTRICAL, INC., HENDRICKSON TRANSPORTATION LLC, PERINI MANAGEMENT SERVICES, INC., and WASHINGTON EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURING COMPANY, INC., which provide specialized engineering, logistics, electrical, and equipment solutions. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capability in defense-sector requirements, particularly those experienced in federal compliance, hazardous material handling, and infrastructure support. Braaten’s procurement portfolio is fully aligned with small business set-aside preferences, with 100% of her acquisitions designated for total small business participation under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate and sustained commitment to fostering economic opportunity among small businesses, ensuring broad vendor engagement without reliance on 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB-specific programs, but rather through general small business set-asides across diverse service categories. Her primary NAICS focus includes All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services (541990), Environmental Consulting Services (541620), Landscaping Services (561730), and Industrial Gas Manufacturing (325120), indicating expertise in technical support, environmental compliance, site maintenance, and utility infrastructure. She routinely procures services related to facility sustainment, environmental remediation, and specialized equipment critical to nuclear deterrence and base operations, demonstrating deep domain knowledge in defense infrastructure support.
