In this role, she manages the acquisition lifecycle for critical infrastructure and environmental compliance projects essential to sustaining mission readiness at remote coastal installations. Her portfolio focuses on facility maintenance, utility system modernization, and safety-critical repairs, ensuring habitability and regulatory compliance in austere environments. Fisher executes solicitations under FAR Part 15, leveraging competitive and negotiated procedures to secure high-integrity services that support Coast Guard operational continuity and environmental stewardship. She maintains consistent working relationships with Environmental Compliance Consultants, Inc., a key vendor providing environmental remediation, hazardous materials management, and regulatory support services. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for specialized niche contractors capable of delivering technical expertise in isolated, high-risk locations.

Fisher demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 88.9% of her awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. She routinely utilizes 8(a) competed set-asides and prioritizes small business participation to build capacity among qualified vendors serving remote federal installations. Her contracting approach aligns with the Coast Guard’s broader goals of fostering resilient, locally responsive supply chains while meeting statutory small business utilization targets. Her primary NAICS focus areas include 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors), 238170 (Siding Contractors), 238990 (All Other Specialty Trade Contractors), and 561622 (Locksmiths), reflecting a heavy emphasis on facility infrastructure and security system maintenance. She also procures specialized services such as drycleaning and laundry support for garrison operations. Fisher’s technical expertise lies in managing complex, multi-disciplinary construction and facility services contracts that require strict compliance with federal environmental and safety regulations in challenging geographic conditions.
