She manages a diverse portfolio of engineering and utility support contracts, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with strategic goals for facility modernization, environmental stewardship, and mission-enabling services. Her work directly supports the agency’s mandate to deliver integrated engineering, logistics, and technical solutions across continental U.S. and overseas installations, emphasizing timely, compliant, and performance-based contracting. Osterkamp maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including AMD International Technologies LLC, Constellation NewEnergy, Inc., MSL Housekeeping Services LLC, Boh Environmental, L.L.C., and Hydrogeologic, Inc. These partnerships reflect a focus on specialized engineering services, energy infrastructure, and facility operations support. Her procurement approach prioritizes technical expertise and proven performance, fostering long-term vendor collaborations that ensure reliability and mission continuity in complex operational environments. Notably, Osterkamp’s contracting activity reflects a 100% preference for full and open competition, with no set-asides designated for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic programs.
