Mona Lisa Brown

Mona Lisa Brown-CO serves as a key procurement lead within Division 1000 of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, supporting the Department of Justice’s mission to enhance human performance for high-stakes national security and law enforcement operations. She manages the acquisition of specialized technical services focused on cognitive readiness, behavioral analysis, and operational support for mission-critical personnel. Her portfolio centers on consulting, training, and support services designed to optimize decision-making, resilience, and mission effectiveness under extreme conditions. Brown-CO ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurement strategy with the agency’s operational imperatives and workforce development goals. Her contractor relationships are primarily with firms providing administrative management consulting and professional development training services, with a preference for vendors possessing deep expertise in human performance science and operational psychology. While no single contractor dominates her award history, she consistently engages with a network of qualified service providers capable of delivering tailored solutions in cognitive enhancement, situational awareness training, and mission support systems. Her working relationships emphasize performance-based outcomes, rigorous evaluation criteria, and contract compliance under FAR Part 37. Brown-CO exhibits a strong preference for open competition, with 87.5% of her acquisitions conducted without set-aside restrictions. However, she actively supports small business participation, allocating 12.5% of her contracting activity to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a balanced approach that prioritizes capability while fostering economic opportunity for qualified small firms without compromising mission requirements. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541611 for management consulting services related to organizational performance and human systems integration, complemented by NAICS 611430 for professional development training and NAICS 323120 for specialized printing support tied to operational documentation and secure materials. She procures services that integrate behavioral science, cognitive ergonomics, and mission-specific training systems to sustain the readiness of federal personnel engaged in high-risk environments.
