Her role centers on managing solicitations and contract awards for transportation, construction, and facility maintenance solutions, ensuring alignment with the agency’s mission to sustain safe, reliable public services. She handles a diverse portfolio of acquisitions including vehicle procurement, roofing systems, and fabricated metal components, often coordinating with engineering and operations teams to define technical requirements and ensure compliance with state procurement statutes.

Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based specifications and lifecycle cost analysis, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in quality, delivery reliability, and regulatory adherence. She actively collaborates with suppliers across the supply chain to ensure timely delivery of mission-critical assets. Poole’s contracting activity reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of awards issued under no set-aside designation.

Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 238160 (Roofing Contractors) and 336212 (Truck Trailer Manufacturing), reflecting deep expertise in commercial vehicle fleets and building envelope systems. Additional activity in 332999 (Miscellaneous Fabricated Metal Products) and 441110 (New Car Dealers) underscores her technical familiarity with specialized transportation and facility infrastructure. She consistently evaluates bids based on compliance with federal and state safety standards, durability requirements, and maintenance scalability.
