Sheri S Brooks

Sheri S. 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 procurements that support national security and operational readiness. Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of professional, scientific, and technical service contracts, ensuring compliance with FAR regulations and agency acquisition policies. She specializes in securing mission-critical services that enhance cybersecurity, systems engineering, and physical infrastructure integrity, aligning acquisitions with the Division’s mandate to sustain high-performance government operations through strategic sourcing. Brooks cultivates collaborative relationships with a diverse range of vendors, primarily engaged in administrative, technical, and facility support services. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages firms with demonstrated expertise in court reporting, translation, and specialized consulting services. Her contracting approach emphasizes transparency, competitive bidding, and performance-based outcomes, fostering long-term partnerships with vendors capable of delivering high-quality, mission-aligned solutions under tight regulatory and security constraints. Her procurement strategy reflects a strong commitment to socioeconomic goals, with over 35% of her awards designated for small businesses under total small business set-asides (FAR 19.5), and a targeted 3.6% allocation to HUBZone concerns. Though the majority of her contracts remain open to all competitors, she actively promotes small business participation through tailored solicitation structures and early vendor engagement, ensuring equitable access for qualified disadvantaged and community-based firms. Brooks’s primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 812930 (Parking Lots and Garages) and 541492 (Court Reporting and Stenotype Services), reflecting the agency’s operational needs for facility management and legal documentation support. She also regularly procures translation and interpretation services (541930) and administrative consulting (541611), demonstrating expertise in managing linguistically diverse and administratively intensive contracts critical to DHS’s cross-functional missions.
