She manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—focusing on design-build construction, facility modernization, and integrated building services essential to maintaining safe, efficient federal buildings and land ports of entry. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to deliver mission-critical infrastructure through compliant, transparent, and strategically aligned contracting practices. Cohen maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including LEA MARIE LLC, SECURITYHUNTER, INC., MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, and HANDYMAN NATION INC., reflecting a balanced engagement with both specialized small businesses and experienced service providers in construction, security, and facility maintenance. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, clear statement of work development, and contractor accountability, fostering collaborative partnerships grounded in regulatory compliance and delivery reliability. Her contracting patterns reveal an equitable distribution across socioeconomic set-asides, with equal emphasis on Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business Set-Asides, Total Small Business Set-Asides (FAR 19.5), and open competitions, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to broad-based small business participation without over-reliance on any single category. This balanced approach ensures competitive diversity while meeting mission needs through qualified vendors. Cohen’s primary procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 337212 (Custom Architectural Woodwork and Millwork Manufacturing), 541330 (Engineering Services), and 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), indicating deep engagement in specialized building components, structural and systems engineering, and technical consulting services critical to federal facility upgrades. Her expertise spans the integration of architectural finishes, building systems design, and professional technical support services required to sustain high-performance federal infrastructure.
