Brandy L. Epperson

Brandy Epperson serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing complex acquisitions across technical and infrastructure service domains. In this role, she ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while advancing agency mission objectives through strategic sourcing and contract administration. She routinely handles competitive procurements under FAR Part 15, with a focus on requirements involving information technology services, aviation support, and commercial construction. Her work supports mission-critical operations by securing reliable, high-performance solutions from qualified vendors, balancing efficiency, risk mitigation, and regulatory adherence. While specific contractor names are not available, Epperson maintains a diverse vendor ecosystem characterized by recurring engagements with firms experienced in IT services, air transportation support, and commercial construction. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for open competition, with a strong emphasis on fair and transparent solicitation processes. She fosters collaborative relationships with both large-capability contractors and small businesses, ensuring robust market engagement and consistent vendor performance through effective contract oversight and post-award management. Epperson demonstrates a clear commitment to small business participation, with 16.7% of her acquisitions designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. Though the majority of her awards are unrestricted, her consistent use of small business set-asides signals a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for small firms in competitive markets. Her socioeconomic contracting approach aligns with federal goals to promote equitable access, even in the absence of targeted 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), where she acquires software development, systems integration, and IT consulting services. She also frequently procures support activities for air transportation (NAICS 488190) and commercial/institutional building construction (NAICS 236220), indicating expertise in both digital infrastructure and physical facility support. Epperson’s technical domain knowledge spans IT modernization, logistics support for aviation operations, and construction project management, enabling her to effectively evaluate technical proposals and ensure contract deliverables meet operational needs.
