He prioritizes vendors capable of rapid deployment and compliance with federal biosafety and data security standards. A defining feature of Mansfield’s procurement strategy is his strong commitment to small business participation, with approximately 80% of his acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5.
