Brittany L. Brooks

Brittany L. Brooks serves as a key procurement professional within the Contracts and Acquisitions Management unit of the U.S. Department of Education, where she oversees the strategic acquisition of professional services critical to advancing federal education policy and institutional capacity. Her work centers on securing expert consulting support to enhance regulatory compliance, modernize federal student aid systems, and strengthen data infrastructure for postsecondary education. She routinely manages competitive procurements under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, with a primary focus on administrative and management consulting services to support evidence-based decision-making and operational efficiency across the department’s national programs. Her contractor relationships are heavily anchored with LPE-STRATEGIES LLC, a trusted vendor providing high-level strategic advisory services in education policy and program implementation. Brooks maintains a consistent pattern of engaging this firm for complex, mission-critical engagements, reflecting a stable, performance-driven partnership built on technical alignment and delivery reliability. While LPE-STRATEGIES LLC is the dominant contractor, her portfolio also includes open-market solicitations, indicating a balanced approach between established vendors and broader competition. Brooks demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with nearly half of her acquisitions structured as Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides, aligning with federal priorities to expand opportunities for veteran-owned enterprises. The remaining half are competed without set-asides, ensuring robust competition while maintaining compliance with statutory small business goals. This balanced approach underscores her dedication to both equity and market efficiency in federal procurement. Her procurement activity is exclusively focused on NAICS 541611—Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services—reflecting deep expertise in securing strategic advisory support for education systems reform, compliance frameworks, and data governance initiatives. She specializes in acquiring consultants with proven experience in federal education policy, institutional assessment, and regulatory modernization, ensuring that contracted expertise directly supports the Department’s mission to strengthen the infrastructure of postsecondary education.
