Lakeitha Brooks

Lakeitha Brooks serves as a Contracting Specialist within the W7NB USPFO Activity Laang 159 under the Department of the Army, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions that sustain military installation operations. Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of contracts for lodging, facility maintenance, and communications infrastructure essential to Air National Guard and Army unit readiness. She specializes in service-based procurements under FAR Part 12 and Part 13, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning contracting actions with strategic readiness objectives. Her portfolio centers on maintaining secure, habitable, and operationally functional environments for personnel across deployed and garrisoned locations. Brooks maintains a consistent working relationship with HDT Expeditionary Systems Inc., a key vendor providing expeditionary lodging and modular infrastructure solutions. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based service delivery, often leveraging indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) and task-order contracts to ensure rapid response to dynamic operational needs. She fosters long-term vendor partnerships grounded in reliability, compliance, and mission alignment, prioritizing contractors with proven expertise in military-grade facility support systems. Her procurement strategy reflects a balanced commitment to socioeconomic programs, with nearly half of her awards conducted as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and a notable portion awarded through 8(a) competed pathways. While non-set-aside acquisitions remain significant, her pattern demonstrates deliberate inclusion of small, disadvantaged businesses to enhance competition and innovation in mission-critical support services. Her primary NAICS focus is on 721110 (Hotels and Motels), reflecting her specialization in temporary and permanent lodging solutions for military personnel. She also procures niche services in apparel accessories, medical office support, and irradiation apparatus manufacturing—domains that support specialized operational and logistical requirements. This diverse technical scope underscores her expertise in integrating non-traditional procurement categories into broader installation sustainment frameworks.
