Charlotte T. Brooks

Charlotte T. Brooks serves as a Contract Specialist within the Department of the Air Force’s FA2517 21 Cons Bldg 350 office, where she manages the acquisition of mission-critical infrastructure and operational support systems essential to Air Force installation readiness. Her responsibilities include developing, soliciting, awarding, and administering contracts for facility modernization, communication systems, and integrated security solutions. She plays a pivotal role in executing strategic procurement initiatives aligned with the agency’s mission to enhance resilient, secure, and technologically advanced defense environments, with a focus on fire safety upgrades, electronic systems integration, and facility sustainment. Brooks maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of prime contractors, including ASTERI CONSULTING SERVICES LLC, AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, ARHAB LLC, and PRIMEPRO BUSINESS SOLUTIONS LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven expertise in facility construction, IT modernization, and communications equipment procurement. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous compliance with FAR requirements, and collaborative vendor engagement to ensure timely delivery of complex, mission-aligned solutions. While the majority of her acquisitions—88.9%—are conducted without set-asides, Brooks demonstrates a deliberate commitment to small business participation, with 11.1% of awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. Her socioeconomic contracting patterns prioritize broad small business engagement over niche set-aside categories, reflecting a balanced strategy to maintain competition while expanding vendor diversity. Her procurement focus centers on NAICS 721110 (hotels and motels), indicating significant support for transient lodging at Air Force installations; NAICS 541511 (custom computer programming), underscoring her role in software development for facility management systems; and NAICS 334220 (communications equipment manufacturing), highlighting her technical expertise in procuring secure radio and broadcast infrastructure. These domains reveal a specialized niche in integrating civilian infrastructure services with defense-critical technology systems.
