Brenda S. Schwager serves as a Purchasing Agent for W071 Endist Omaha under the Department of the Army, where she plays a pivotal role in executing procurement actions that sustain and modernize critical military infrastructure. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of acquisitions for facility support services, with a primary focus on janitorial and custodial operations essential to base readiness and operational continuity.

Schwager maintains consistent, long-term relationships with key contractors including JOHN BOWMAN, INC., PAF ELECTRICAL, INC., HENDRICKSON TRANSPORTATION LLC, PERINI MANAGEMENT SERVICES, INC., and WASHINGTON EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURING COMPANY, INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven capabilities in facility services, logistical support, and infrastructure maintenance. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, performance history, and adherence to military standards, fostering collaborative vendor relationships built on accountability and mission alignment. A staunch advocate for small business participation, Schwager directs 91.3% of her acquisitions toward Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a robust commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals. Her portfolio consistently prioritizes small businesses across multiple categories, enabling broad economic inclusion while ensuring competitive, high-quality service delivery across Army installations. Her procurement expertise is concentrated exclusively in NAICS 561720 (Janitorial Services), reflecting a specialized focus on facility cleaning, waste management, sanitation, and environmental support services. This narrow but mission-critical domain requires precise operational standards and strict compliance with DoD health and safety protocols, positioning Schwager as a subject matter expert in sustaining clean, safe, and mission-ready military environments through targeted, compliant acquisitions.
