Perdue serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements determination and market research to contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and promoting efficient, transparent procurement practices. Her portfolio primarily encompasses professional services, medical supply distribution, and specialized manufacturing contracts, with a focus on achieving mission-critical outcomes through competitive and compliant contracting mechanisms. Perdue’s work supports operational readiness and service delivery through strategic sourcing aligned with agency objectives. Perdue cultivates collaborative relationships with a diverse array of vendors, including small businesses, women-owned firms, and 8(a) certified contractors.

Her contracting approach emphasizes fair competition and vendor performance accountability, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in regulatory adherence and value-based outcomes. Her procurement patterns reflect a strong commitment to socioeconomic programs, with nearly half of her awards designated for small business participation.

This demonstrates a deliberate strategy to expand market access for underserved entrepreneurs and align with federal socioeconomic goals without compromising competition or quality.
