She oversees the full lifecycle of contracts for commercial and institutional building construction, specialized trades, and mission-critical infrastructure upgrades, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-aligned outcomes. Her work directly supports the agency’s mandate to maintain safe, functional, and resilient military installations through timely and efficient procurement of essential facility assets. Cadua maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including GIGABITER LLC, VINDICATOR TECHNOLOGIES, INC., YUKON EQUIPMENT, INC., and GLOBAL FINISHING SOLUTIONS LLC, who provide specialized construction, environmental, and electrotherapeutic equipment services. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven technical expertise in facility modernization, HVAC systems, electrical infrastructure, and specialty trade execution. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous quality control, and contractor accountability across diverse project scopes. A staunch advocate for small business participation, Cadua consistently prioritizes Small Business Set-Aside contracts under FAR 19.5, with approximately 96% of her acquisitions reserved for small businesses. This reflects a deep commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals, enabling disadvantaged, veteran-owned, and service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses to compete for critical infrastructure work. Her portfolio demonstrates a deliberate strategy to expand market access for qualified small firms while maintaining high standards of delivery. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors), and 238210 (Electrical Contractors), with additional emphasis on flooring and specialty trade services.
