While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, Chiasson maintains consistent partnerships with vendors specializing in military-grade audiovisual and broadcast infrastructure, particularly those certified under socioeconomic programs. Her contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for collaborative, compliant vendor relationships that prioritize performance, security, and rapid deployment capabilities. She works closely with small businesses that demonstrate proven expertise in facility-level media system integration and compliance with DoD cybersecurity standards.
