She executes complex contract actions across the full lifecycle—from market research and solicitation to award and closeout—supporting the agency’s mission to modernize test and evaluation infrastructure for next-generation defense systems. Sabatel maintains consistent working relationships with a focused group of contractors, including TOM HAMMONDS ENTERPRISES, LLC, STREET LEGAL INDUSTRIES, INC, SPEEGLE CONSTRUCTION, INC, DETECT INC, and THE CONTROLS COMPANY, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for niche vendors with proven expertise in custom instrumentation, electromagnetic compatibility testing, and mission-critical system integration. Her contracting approach emphasizes technical rigor and performance-based outcomes, fostering long-term vendor collaboration on specialized, low-volume procurements requiring tailored engineering solutions. Her procurement activity shows no reliance on socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a mission-driven emphasis on technical capability over socioeconomic criteria, prioritizing the most qualified providers regardless of business size or certification status. While small business participation is not formally incentivized, her contracting decisions remain compliant with all federal acquisition regulations.
