Brenda Green

Brenda Green supports the Farm Production and Conservation Business Center’s Real Estate Management Division within the U.S. Department of Agriculture, where she plays a pivotal role in acquiring and managing nonresidential real estate infrastructure critical to field-level agricultural operations and conservation initiatives. Her procurement activities focus on securing long-term leasing arrangements for office facilities, field service centers, and operational outposts in rural and underserved regions, ensuring USDA personnel have accessible, scalable, and mission-ready physical infrastructure. She handles sole-source and competitive lease acquisitions under FAR Part 17 and GSA Schedule 70, aligning with the agency’s mandate to maintain a distributed physical presence that enables efficient delivery of farm assistance, disaster response, and conservation programs. Green maintains consistent procurement relationships with a small pool of specialized real estate lessors and site development contractors, most notably Greenwood Properties, L.L.P., and McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with deep expertise in federal property management, adaptive reuse of existing structures, and compliance with USDA environmental and accessibility standards. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, long-term facility performance, and minimal disruption to field operations, often resulting in multi-year lease renewals with the same vendors. Green’s acquisition portfolio reflects no set-aside preferences, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This indicates a strategic focus on selecting the most qualified lessors based on facility suitability, location, and operational readiness rather than socioeconomic criteria, aligning with the unique infrastructure needs of rural USDA operations. Her primary procurement activity centers on NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings—demonstrating specialized expertise in commercial real estate leasing for federal use. She procures turnkey facility access, including utilities, maintenance, and security services, with an emphasis on properties that meet federal building codes and support agricultural program delivery in remote areas.
