Kourtney Brooks

Kourtney Brooks serves as a key procurement professional within Mschq Norfolk, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to sustain the operational readiness of U.S. Navy surface and auxiliary vessels. Responsible for managing complex acquisition programs, Brooks oversees the procurement of mission-critical marine engineering services, deep-sea freight logistics, and specialized maritime equipment essential to fleet sustainment. Their work directly enables the Navy’s ability to maintain continuous deployment cycles by ensuring timely delivery of technical solutions and infrastructure support. Acquisitions under their purview are primarily technical in nature, requiring rigorous compliance with naval specifications and defense acquisition regulations. Brooks maintains strategic relationships with a select group of high-capacity contractors, including EXXONMOBIL MARINE LIMITED for marine fuel and logistics support, VIGOR MARINE LLC for ship repair and maintenance services, BOOZ ALLEN HAMILTON INC for systems engineering and technical assistance, ONTIC ENGINEERING & MANUFACTURING, INC for specialized marine component fabrication, and FOREIGN POLICY RESEARCH INSTITUTE INC for strategic analysis and operational planning support. These partnerships reflect a preference for established, mission-aligned vendors with proven capabilities in defense maritime environments, often involving long-term, performance-based contract structures. There is no set-aside preference in Brooks’ procurement portfolio; all acquisitions are competed full and open, with no reliance on 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic programs. This reflects a mission-driven prioritization of technical capability and readiness over socioeconomic targeting, aligning with the high-stakes operational demands of naval sustainment. The primary procurement focus is on NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), encompassing naval architecture, systems integration, and maintenance engineering for fleet assets, with a secondary emphasis on NAICS 335929 for specialized communication and energy infrastructure components. Brooks’ expertise lies in procuring technically complex marine systems requiring deep domain knowledge in naval logistics, maritime transport, and defense-grade engineering standards.
