Vernet maintains longstanding relationships with key industrial partners including Timken Gears & Services Inc., Curtiss-Wright Electro-Mechanical Corp, Bellingham Marine Industries, Palfinger Marine USA, and Jered LLC. These partnerships reflect a focus on high-reliability suppliers capable of delivering certified marine-grade mechanical systems, electro-mechanical components, and vessel fabrication services. Her contracting approach emphasizes technical compliance, supply chain resilience, and performance-based outcomes, fostering collaborative vendor engagement to meet mission-critical delivery timelines. A strong advocate for small business participation, Vernet consistently prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, with over half of her acquisitions reserved for small businesses. Her contracting patterns reflect a deliberate strategy to expand opportunities for qualified small firms in maritime and industrial sectors, aligning with Department of the Navy socioeconomic goals. While no other specific set-aside categories dominate, her portfolio demonstrates a sustained commitment to broadening vendor diversity through competitive small business contracting. Her primary NAICS focus is Ship Building and Repairing (336611), complemented by significant activity in Janitorial Services (561720), Mechanical Power Transmission Equipment Manufacturing (333613), Electrical Contracting (238210), and Paint and Coating Manufacturing (325510).
