Penny A. Brown

Penny A. Brown serves as a Contract Specialist with Navfacsyscom Southwest, where she plays a pivotal role in executing procurement strategies that support the Department of the Navy’s infrastructure modernization mission. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of acquisitions—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—Brown specializes in complex facility-related services that ensure operational readiness across naval installations in the Southwest region. Her portfolio centers on engineering, environmental remediation, and construction support services critical to sustaining aging military infrastructure while advancing energy resilience and environmental compliance. Brown maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of prime contractors, including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, RSI AMENTUM ENVIRONMENTAL SOLUTIONS, L1 ENTERPRISES INCORPORATED, KIEWIT INFRASTRUCTURE WEST CO., and Boh Environmental, L.L.C. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven expertise in site development, environmental restoration, and infrastructure modernization. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, clear technical requirements, and collaborative contract management to ensure mission-critical deliverables are met on schedule and within regulatory standards. A steadfast advocate for small business participation, Brown exclusively utilizes Total Small Business Set-Aside authorities under FAR 19.5, ensuring all her acquisitions are reserved for small business concerns. This consistent pattern underscores a deep commitment to socioeconomic goals, fostering opportunity for small firms capable of delivering high-quality, compliant services in support of naval infrastructure. Her contracting patterns reflect a strategic alignment with federal priorities to expand small business access to defense-related opportunities. Her primary technical focus lies in NAICS 541720, Research and Development in the Social Sciences and Humanities, which in this context encompasses environmental impact assessments, cultural resource surveys, sustainability planning, and socio-technical studies integral to facility lifecycle management. Brown’s expertise ensures that procurement actions align with both regulatory mandates and the Navy’s long-term resilience objectives.
