She plays a pivotal role in aligning contracting activities with the county’s mission to advance resilient, equitable, and climate-adaptive infrastructure.

Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and vendor accountability, fostering long-term partnerships with firms capable of delivering scalable, data-informed solutions that meet King County’s complex public needs. Ware’s procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of acquisitions conducted without set-aside designations such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB.

Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541611 (administrative management consulting), 541620 (environmental consulting), and 541614 (logistics and distribution consulting), alongside 611430 (professional development training) and 321918 (specialized millwork and flooring). These categories reveal deep expertise in operational efficiency, environmental compliance, workforce development, and facility modernization—domains essential to sustaining King County’s public infrastructure and community services.
