Jimmy Brownlee

Jimmy Brownlee serves as Director of Facilities Management for the County of Greenwood, South Carolina, where he oversees the procurement and lifecycle management of public infrastructure assets critical to community safety and operational continuity. In this primary leadership role, he directs the acquisition of construction, maintenance, and capital improvement services aligned with long-term facility preservation goals. His procurement portfolio is narrowly focused on structural integrity and code-compliant upgrades, with an emphasis on preventive maintenance and sustainable rehabilitation strategies. Brownlee ensures all acquisitions adhere to state and federal building codes while prioritizing lifecycle cost efficiency and resilience in county-owned facilities. Brownlee maintains strategic relationships with a select group of specialized roofing and facility maintenance contractors who consistently deliver high-quality, code-compliant work under performance-based contracts. His procurement model favors experienced vendors with proven track records in commercial and public-sector roofing systems, waterproofing, and structural repair. While no single contractor dominates his award history, he cultivates long-term partnerships with firms demonstrating technical expertise, reliability, and adherence to safety and environmental standards. Vendor performance evaluations and post-award oversight are integral to his contracting approach. Brownlee’s procurement strategy reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of acquisitions issued without set-aside designations. This reflects a mission-driven focus on technical capability and value over socioeconomic classifications, though small businesses are not excluded—they compete on equal footing based on qualifications and past performance. His approach prioritizes outcome-based outcomes over compliance-driven preferences, ensuring the most qualified firms deliver critical infrastructure services. His primary industry focus is exclusively on NAICS 238160—Roofing Contractors—reflecting deep specialization in commercial and institutional roofing systems, including single-ply membranes, built-up roofing, metal systems, and waterproofing applications. He procures services related to roof replacement, restoration, leak remediation, and preventive maintenance programs, requiring contractors with certified installation expertise and familiarity with ASTM and FM Global standards. Brownlee’s technical domain expertise lies in asset longevity, material durability, and climate-resilient construction practices tailored to the South Carolina environment.
