Denise Brooks

Denise Brooks serves as a procurement professional responsible for managing a diverse portfolio of service-based acquisitions, with a strong emphasis on small business participation and socioeconomic contracting goals. She plays a critical role in executing agency acquisition strategies by ensuring compliance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) requirements, particularly in the implementation of set-aside programs. Her work centers on soliciting, evaluating, and awarding contracts for professional, technical, and facility support services, aligning procurement activities with broader organizational missions. She typically handles competitive acquisitions under simplified acquisition procedures and small business set-asides, prioritizing transparency, fairness, and market responsiveness. Her contractor relationships are primarily with small businesses, particularly those certified under socioeconomic programs, reflecting a consistent preference for non-large business vendors. While no single contractor dominates her award portfolio, she maintains active engagement with firms specializing in title abstract and settlement services, electrical installation, and janitorial operations. Her contracting patterns suggest a preference for long-term, performance-based service agreements that emphasize quality, compliance, and local economic impact, fostering stable vendor partnerships grounded in regulatory adherence and consistent delivery. Denise demonstrates a pronounced commitment to small business inclusion, with 83.3% of her awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize opportunities for small businesses, including those owned by women, veterans, or socially and economically disadvantaged individuals. Her contracting patterns show minimal use of full and open competition, indicating a proactive effort to meet statutory small business goals and promote equitable market access. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541191 (Title Abstract and Settlement Offices), 238210 (Electrical Contractors), and 561720 (Janitorial Services), indicating deep expertise in real estate transaction support, building systems installation, and facility maintenance. She also regularly procures architectural services and heavy civil construction support, demonstrating broad technical familiarity across professional services and infrastructure-related sectors. Her domain expertise centers on service delivery efficiency, regulatory compliance, and the operational needs of mission-critical support functions.
