Brenda Cooley

Brenda L. Stroud-Cooley serves as a Contracting Officer within the Public Buildings Service’s R5 Acquisition Management Division, where she manages the acquisition of facility support and infrastructure modernization services for federal buildings nationwide. Her portfolio centers on interior renovations, building systems upgrades, and mission-critical operational services, ensuring federal facilities remain safe, efficient, and compliant with modern standards. She executes contracts under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, leveraging competitive procedures to secure high-quality, cost-effective solutions that align with GSA’s mission to sustain the federal government’s physical infrastructure. Stroud-Cooley maintains a consistent working relationship with MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, a primary contractor for facility maintenance and renovation services. Her procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance accountability and compliance with federal standards. She frequently engages with contractors specializing in building systems, janitorial operations, and technical consulting, fostering collaborative relationships that prioritize reliability, safety, and regulatory adherence across diverse federal sites. Her contracting patterns reflect a strong commitment to small business participation, with over one-third of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 and nearly a quarter designated for Women-Owned Small Businesses. While nearly half of her acquisitions are open to all competitors, her consistent use of socioeconomic set-asides demonstrates a deliberate strategy to expand opportunities for underserved vendors and promote equitable access to federal contracting. Stroud-Cooley’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561720 (Janitorial Services), which accounts for the majority of her activity, followed by specialized services in environmental consulting, food service contracting, and electrical installation. Her expertise spans facility operations support, with deep technical knowledge in building systems integration, sanitation protocols, and compliance-driven service delivery. She routinely procures performance-based contracts that emphasize outcome-oriented deliverables, ensuring federal buildings meet operational, health, and safety benchmarks.
