Brenda Jackson-Pryor

Brenda Jackson-Pryor serves as a key procurement professional within the Departmental Operations Acquisition Division I (70RDAD), supporting the Office of Procurement Operations at the Department of Homeland Security. She is responsible for managing the acquisition lifecycle of professional and technical services critical to modernizing the agency’s digital infrastructure, administrative systems, and workforce development capabilities. Her portfolio primarily encompasses consulting services, computer systems design, and specialized technical equipment procurement, aligning directly with the division’s mission to sustain and enhance operational capacity through strategic sourcing. She exercises full contracting authority over complex, performance-based requirements, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-aligned outcomes. Her contractor relationships are broadly distributed across large and mid-tier vendors delivering management consulting, IT systems integration, and advanced instrumentation solutions. While no single contractor dominates her award portfolio, she consistently engages firms with proven expertise in federal digital transformation, systems engineering, and mission-critical instrumentation. Her working relationships reflect a preference for vendors with deep domain knowledge in government IT environments and a demonstrated ability to meet stringent security and compliance standards. Brenda’s contracting activity shows a 100% preference for open, unrestricted competitions, with no set-asides designated for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic programs. This reflects a strategic focus on technical merit and performance capability over socioeconomic criteria, consistent with the division’s emphasis on mission-critical outcomes requiring specialized expertise not always available within small business pools. Her procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 541611 (administrative and general management consulting) and 541512 (computer systems design services), with significant activity in 334511 (navigation and guidance systems manufacturing) and 334111 (electronic computer manufacturing). She specializes in acquiring high-integrity technical services and hardware supporting secure computing environments, data infrastructure modernization, and operational systems integration across DHS mission areas.
