LaToya Brown

LaToya Brown serves as a Contact Specialist responsible for facilitating the execution of complex procurement actions across technical and engineering domains. In this role, she ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while supporting the agency’s mission through timely and transparent contract actions. She primarily manages competitive solicitations for professional services and high-technology systems, coordinating with program offices to define requirements, draft solicitation documents, and administer contract modifications. Her work is instrumental in bridging technical needs with acquisition strategy, ensuring that procurements align with both operational objectives and regulatory frameworks. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable due to data limitations, LaToya consistently engages with a broad spectrum of vendors, including large prime contractors and small businesses, particularly in engineering and advanced manufacturing sectors. Her procurement approach emphasizes competitive bidding and clear performance metrics, fostering a marketplace where vendors are evaluated on technical merit, past performance, and compliance with contractual obligations. She maintains a collaborative yet rigorous contracting process designed to promote accountability and value delivery. LaToya’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for unrestricted competition, with 95.2% of awards issued under non-set-aside authorities. Only 4.8% of her actions are structured as 8(a) competed contracts, indicating a targeted but limited use of socioeconomic programs. This suggests she prioritizes open competition while still incorporating small business opportunities when aligned with technical requirements and market readiness, demonstrating a balanced approach to socioeconomic goals without compromising acquisition efficiency. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), where she regularly acquires systems design, analysis, and technical consulting. She also frequently procures specialized equipment under NAICS 334511 (Search and Navigation Systems) and 336411/336412 (Aircraft and Engine Manufacturing), reflecting deep expertise in aerospace and avionics systems. Her domain knowledge spans avionics integration, sensor development, and mission-critical instrumentation, positioning her as a specialist in high-assurance technical acquisitions within the defense and aerospace ecosystem.
