Sheri Brooks

Sheri Brooks serves as a Contract Specialist within the Contract Administration Services Division (70RCAS) of the Department of Homeland Security, where she plays a pivotal role in executing complex acquisitions of professional, scientific, and technical services critical to national security operations. Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions—from solicitation and source selection to contract award and administration—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and agency-specific mission requirements. She specializes in procurements supporting systems engineering, cybersecurity infrastructure, and physical science research initiatives that enhance operational readiness and technological integrity across DHS components. Brooks collaborates with a diverse range of contractors, primarily in the engineering, facilities management, and specialized manufacturing sectors. While no single vendor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with firms capable of delivering high-integrity technical services and mission-critical hardware solutions. Her working relationships are characterized by a focus on performance-based contracting, clear statement of work development, and rigorous contract oversight to ensure deliverables align with DHS’s operational standards. Her procurement activity reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted without set-aside designations. This indicates a strategic emphasis on maximizing competition and selecting the most technically qualified offerors, regardless of socioeconomic status, consistent with mission-critical urgency and technical complexity requirements. Brooks’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 812930 (Parking Lots and Garages) and 339999 (All Other Miscellaneous Manufacturing), suggesting a unique blend of facility infrastructure support and niche manufacturing procurement. These categories likely support physical security installations, specialized equipment fabrication, or ancillary systems integral to DHS facilities and operational sites. Her expertise spans technical specification development, performance metrics alignment, and contract administration for non-traditional defense-related manufacturing and infrastructure services.
