She plays a central role in executing the agency’s contracting strategy by overseeing the solicitation, evaluation, and award of contracts for specialized engineering, remediation, and manufacturing services. Her work ensures mission-critical capabilities are delivered through compliant, transparent, and efficient procurement processes aligned with federal acquisition regulations. She typically handles competitive procurements under full and open competition, with targeted set-asides to support small business participation. While specific contractor names are not available, her procurement patterns indicate consistent engagement with firms capable of delivering high-precision engineering solutions, environmental remediation systems, and specialized aerospace components. She cultivates relationships with vendors possessing technical expertise in niche manufacturing and communications equipment, often requiring certified quality systems and defense-related compliance standards. Her approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and rigorous source selection criteria to ensure technical adequacy and long-term operational reliability. Christy demonstrates a strong preference for full and open competition, with approximately 85% of her acquisitions conducted without set-asides. However, she actively supports small business participation through Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate commitment to expanding market access for small firms without relying on specialized socioeconomic programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. Her contracting approach balances competition with equitable opportunity, ensuring small businesses can compete on technical merit within designated categories. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), followed by remediation services (562910) and specialized manufacturing (336413, 334290). She routinely acquires technical services including systems design, environmental cleanup, and custom aerospace or communications equipment, indicating deep domain expertise in infrastructure resilience, environmental compliance, and advanced manufacturing. Her work supports mission-critical operations requiring precision-engineered solutions and regulatory adherence.
