Her work supports the agency’s broader objective of acquiring innovative, scalable solutions that enhance public service delivery through digital platforms. Christina maintains a vendor-agnostic approach, engaging with a diverse range of contractors to secure high-quality information services. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently collaborates with firms possessing proven capabilities in content aggregation, data curation, and digital platform management. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for competitive, open solicitations that foster innovation and value-driven outcomes. She prioritizes clear performance metrics and outcome-based evaluation criteria to ensure contractor accountability and service excellence. Her procurement strategy reflects a strong emphasis on full and open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted without set-asides. This underscores her commitment to leveraging market-wide capabilities to achieve the best value for the government. While she does not routinely utilize socioeconomic programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her process remains transparent and inclusive, welcoming all qualified vendors regardless of size or certification status. Christina’s primary focus is on NAICS 519130—Other Information Services—which encompasses digital content creation, online publishing, data indexing, and information aggregation services. She regularly procures solutions involving web-based information portals, metadata management systems, and dynamic content delivery platforms. Her technical domain expertise lies in the intersection of information architecture, digital accessibility, and user-centered design, ensuring that acquired services meet rigorous standards for usability, security, and scalability.
