She oversees acquisitions aligned with the agency’s mission to enhance community preparedness, refine catastrophe modeling, and sustain the National Flood Insurance Program’s operational integrity. Her portfolio primarily includes consulting services, training programs, and administrative support contracts that enable data-driven planning and technical analysis. Long ensures procurement actions align with federal acquisition regulations and agency priorities, facilitating the acquisition of expert analytical and operational support to strengthen federal mitigation initiatives. While specific contractor names are not publicly available, Long engages with a diverse ecosystem of vendors specializing in risk assessment, program management, and public sector training. Her contracting patterns reflect collaboration with both large professional services firms and small businesses certified under socioeconomic programs, fostering partnerships that bring specialized technical expertise in flood risk modeling, resilience planning, and policy implementation. She maintains a balanced approach to vendor engagement, prioritizing capability and compliance over volume, ensuring contracts deliver measurable improvements in national mitigation capacity. Long demonstrates a strong preference for socioeconomic set-asides, with 8(a) competed contracts accounting for one-third of her awards and total small business set-asides representing over 11 percent of her portfolio. This reflects a deliberate commitment to expanding opportunities for disadvantaged and small businesses in the federal mitigation space. Her contracting strategy actively leverages FAR 19.5 and 8(a) program authorities to promote equitable access and build a resilient supply base capable of supporting long-term federal resilience objectives. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541611 (management consulting) and 611430 (professional training), with additional activity in technical consulting and administrative services. She routinely acquires services related to risk analytics, resilience training, and program support—domains requiring deep expertise in public-sector policy, catastrophe modeling, and insurance program operations. Her work ensures that MIT60 maintains access to cutting-edge analytical and operational capabilities essential to reducing national disaster risk.
