She supports the full lifecycle of procurement actions for mission-critical technology and professional services, including software licensing, IT consulting, and computing infrastructure solutions. Her work ensures alignment with federal acquisition regulations and promotes efficiency in internal operations through strategic sourcing and contract administration. Denise specializes in complex, non-construction acquisitions that support digital transformation initiatives across government functions. While specific contractor names are not available, Denise collaborates with a diverse pool of vendors offering enterprise-grade software, computer systems integration, and facilities management services. Her procurement patterns reflect engagement with both large-capability firms and small businesses, fostering competitive bidding environments that prioritize innovation and compliance. She works closely with contracting teams to evaluate technical proposals, assess vendor performance, and ensure adherence to FAR guidelines, maintaining a transparent and accountable acquisition process. Denise demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with nearly 38% of her acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate preference for leveraging small business capabilities in support of federal modernization goals. While no other socioeconomic set-asides are predominant, her portfolio consistently prioritizes opportunities for small businesses, aligning with GSA’s broader objectives to expand economic inclusion and enhance vendor diversity.
