Porter maintains consistent contracting relationships with key contractors including TCG Construction Inc., LDIA Holdings, LLC, C-2 Construction Inc., Asphalt Preservation, LLC, and AES Systems Inc., all of whom deliver specialized construction, maintenance, and technical services. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, with a focus on contractors demonstrating proven expertise in commercial building construction, site development, and facility systems integration. These partnerships are characterized by reliability, technical proficiency, and adherence to stringent military construction standards. Porter’s contracting portfolio reflects a 100% no set-aside preference, indicating a focus on full and open competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through set-asides, her awards remain open to all qualified vendors, emphasizing technical capability, past performance, and cost-effectiveness as primary evaluation criteria. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 236220—Commercial and Institutional Building Construction—where she oversees the acquisition of new facilities, renovations, site grading, utility installations, and related construction services. Her technical domain expertise lies in managing complex construction contracts for mission-critical infrastructure, ensuring compliance with Air Force civil engineering standards and DoD facility requirements.
