In this role, she is responsible for managing the contracting lifecycle and ensuring that procurement actions align with regulatory requirements and agency objectives. The agency demonstrates a significant commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with a notable focus on small business participation.

Technical expertise is primarily directed toward the acquisition of surgical and medical instruments, as well as surgical appliances and supplies. Additionally, the agency frequently procures specialized equipment in the realms of electromedical and electrotherapeutic apparatus, analytical laboratory instruments, and irradiation apparatus. This focus suggests a specialized requirement for high-precision medical manufacturing and advanced laboratory technology.
