Solomon serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements validation and market research through solicitation, evaluation, award, and contract administration.

Her portfolio primarily encompasses information technology, communications equipment, and professional services, with a strong emphasis on delivering mission-critical capabilities while adhering to statutory small business goals.

While specific contractor names are not available, her contracting patterns reflect consistent engagement with a diverse pool of vendors, including both large prime contractors and small businesses across multiple socioeconomic categories. She fosters collaborative relationships with vendors who demonstrate technical proficiency, past performance, and compliance with federal contracting standards. Her approach emphasizes fair competition and transparent evaluation criteria, ensuring equitable access to opportunities while maintaining accountability and value for taxpayer dollars. Solomon exhibits a pronounced commitment to small business participation, with over 34% of her awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, and nearly 63% of her actions awarded without set-aside, indicating a balanced strategy between open competition and targeted socioeconomic support. HUBZone and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides, though smaller in proportion, are consistently pursued when market conditions align, demonstrating her adherence to statutory preferences and deliberate inclusion of underrepresented businesses. Her procurement focus centers on NAICS codes related to software publishing, telecommunications equipment manufacturing, and broadcast communications systems, reflecting expertise in digital infrastructure and information systems. She frequently procures custom software solutions, radio and television broadcasting equipment, and related technical services, indicating deep familiarity with evolving communications technologies and IT modernization initiatives.
