Her role centers on securing mission-critical services that enable global operations, with a primary focus on mental health and behavioral health support systems essential to sustaining volunteer well-being abroad. She oversees the full acquisition lifecycle—from market research and requirements definition to contract award and performance monitoring—ensuring alignment with federal procurement regulations and Peace Corps’ operational imperatives. Brandmark maintains a consistent working relationship with Biometrics4All, Inc., a primary contractor providing specialized behavioral health and psychological screening services critical to pre-service and in-service volunteer assessments. Her procurement pattern reflects a reliance on a single, highly specialized vendor with deep expertise in mental health diagnostics and trauma-informed care systems, indicating a strategic partnership built on technical precision and regulatory compliance rather than broad vendor competition. Her contracting activity shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a deliberate focus on technical capability over socioeconomic preferences, prioritizing domain-specific expertise in mental health services to meet the high-stakes demands of international volunteer operations. Brandmark’s procurement portfolio is exclusively classified under NAICS 621112—Offices of Physicians, Mental Health Specialists—indicating a singular focus on clinical and psychological services. She procures services including pre-deployment mental health evaluations, trauma response protocols, ongoing counseling support, and behavioral health data management systems, demonstrating deep expertise in the intersection of public health, international development, and federal healthcare contracting.
