Andrea routinely collaborates with a core group of established contractors including Science Applications International Corporation, L1 Enterprises Incorporated, Adelphi Staffing, LLC, Firewatch Contracting of Florida LLC, and Greenbrier Government Solutions Inc. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced, full-service vendors capable of delivering complex facility upgrades, specialized maintenance, and integrated technical support across multiple VA sites. Her contracting patterns indicate consistent engagement with firms possessing proven track records in federal healthcare infrastructure, often requiring specialized certifications and robust project management capabilities. Andrea’s procurement portfolio reflects a 100% no set-aside approach, 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 contracting decisions emphasize capability, capacity, and mission alignment over socioeconomic categorization, aligning with the agency’s need for high-reliability, large-scale service delivery. Her technical domain centers on facility infrastructure modernization, with a strong emphasis on construction services, building systems upgrades, and clinical support technologies. She procures services under NAICS categories including 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning), and 238110 (Electrical Contractors), demonstrating deep expertise in the intersection of federal construction standards and healthcare facility operational requirements.
