Loretta V. Brooks

Loretta V. Brooks serves as a Contract Specialist with the W2SD Endist Baltimore under the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, where she manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for critical infrastructure and facility support services. Her role centers on ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while delivering mission-critical construction, maintenance, and environmental remediation contracts across military installations and federal properties. She routinely handles competitive sealed bidding, negotiated acquisitions, and set-aside contracts under FAR Part 19, with a focus on achieving operational readiness through timely and efficient contract execution. Brooks maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced contractors, including GRUNLEY CONSTRUCTION CO., INC., GREAT LAKES DREDGE & DOCK CO, LLC, MATTHEWS GROUP INC, CURTIN MARITIME CORP, and CHEROENHAKA NOTTOWAY ENTERPRISES, LLC. These partnerships reflect a balanced approach between large, nationally recognized firms with specialized technical capabilities and small, socioeconomically disadvantaged businesses. Her contracting patterns emphasize long-term vendor collaboration, performance-based outcomes, and adherence to quality standards in civil engineering and facility services. Her procurement strategy reflects an equal split between total small business set-asides and open competitions, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to fostering small business participation under FAR 19.5. She consistently prioritizes small business opportunities, particularly those certified under HUBZone and other socioeconomic programs, aligning with Department of the Army goals to enhance economic inclusion and workforce development within federal contracting. Brooks specializes in two primary NAICS categories: 561720 (Janitorial Services) and 238110 (Poured Concrete Foundation and Structure Contractors). Her portfolio is dominated by facility maintenance, cleaning, and structural concrete work essential to sustaining military readiness. This technical focus underscores her expertise in managing service-based contracts for institutional buildings and infrastructure assets, ensuring compliance with federal environmental and safety standards while supporting the Army’s long-term facility sustainment objectives.
