Brenda Paulk

Brenda Paulk serves as a key procurement lead within the W076 Endist Little Rock office of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, supporting the maintenance and operational sustainability of federal water resource and recreation sites across Arkansas. She manages a portfolio of service-based acquisitions centered on facilities support and janitorial services, ensuring the continued public access and environmental integrity of Army-managed lakes, reservoirs, and recreational infrastructure. Her work directly enables mission-critical operations by securing contracted services that maintain cleanliness, landscape integrity, waste management, and light construction readiness at high-traffic federal sites. Paulk maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including Pegasus Support Services LLC, BL Harbert International LLC, RLC LLC, Boh Environmental, L.L.C., and Endeavor Initial Outfitting, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced service providers with proven capabilities in environmental operations, facility maintenance, and light civil works support. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, compliance with federal environmental standards, and performance-based service delivery, fostering long-term vendor engagement grounded in measurable outcomes and regulatory adherence. Her procurement patterns reflect a strong orientation toward open competition, with 80% of awards issued without set-aside designations, while maintaining a deliberate 20% allocation to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This balance demonstrates a commitment to fostering small business participation without compromising operational needs, aligning with Army-wide goals for economic opportunity and contractor diversity. Paulk’s primary technical focus lies in NAICS 561210 (Facilities Support Services), encompassing groundskeeping, custodial operations, and infrastructure upkeep, with a secondary emphasis on NAICS 561720 (Janitorial Services). Her acquisitions center on non-specialized but mission-critical services that sustain public access and environmental compliance at U.S. Army Corps of Engineers-managed sites, requiring deep familiarity with federal facility standards and performance metrics for service contracts.
