A strong advocate for small business participation, Brandy consistently prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, with nearly 59% of her acquisitions reserved for small businesses. This reflects a deliberate commitment to fostering economic opportunity and enhancing competition within the defense industrial base, aligning with Department of the Navy socioeconomic goals. Her contracting patterns demonstrate consistent engagement with small, qualified vendors across multiple socioeconomic categories. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 238330 (flooring contractors) and 332919 (metal valve and pipe fitting manufacturing), indicating significant investment in facility and infrastructure sustainment.
