Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, clear scope definition, and rigorous contractor performance monitoring to ensure deliverables align with VA’s stringent safety and functionality requirements. A defining feature of Vazquez’s contracting portfolio is her exclusive use of Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides, reflecting a steadfast commitment to socioeconomic goals and veteran economic empowerment. Every procurement she manages is structured to prioritize SDVOSB participation, reinforcing the VA’s mandate to support veteran-owned enterprises and foster equitable access to federal contracting opportunities. Her primary focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), where she oversees complex facility modernization projects, and NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), where she procures design, planning, and technical consulting services. Her expertise spans construction management, facility systems integration, and compliance with ADA, OSHA, and VA facility standards, ensuring all acquisitions meet the operational and accessibility needs of veteran healthcare facilities.
