Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, long-term vendor reliability, and adherence to technical specifications critical to law enforcement operations. Wilson’s contracting activity reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with no set-asides currently applied across her portfolio.

Her primary NAICS focus lies in NAICS 511210 (Software Publishers), reflecting significant investment in digital training platforms and simulation systems, complemented by substantial activity in nonresidential building leasing, water and sewer infrastructure, heavy civil engineering, and security systems services. This technical domain expertise underscores her specialization in integrating advanced technology with physical infrastructure to support modern law enforcement training requirements.
