These relationships reflect a blend of domestic small businesses and international vendors with specialized capabilities in diplomatic security, IT systems integration, and facility maintenance. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous vendor vetting, and long-term service reliability over transactional procurement.
