Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of procurement—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—ensuring compliance with federal regulations and alignment with strategic priorities such as wildfire mitigation, ecological restoration, and infrastructure resilience in remote terrains.

Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, regulatory adherence, and performance-based outcomes, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in clear scope definition and accountability. A strong advocate for socioeconomic equity in federal contracting, Vicars prioritizes small business participation, with over 71% of her awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. An additional 13.9% are allocated to HUBZone firms, demonstrating a deliberate strategy to channel opportunities toward economically disadvantaged and geographically underserved businesses. Her procurement patterns consistently reflect a commitment to expanding access for small, community-based vendors aligned with the agency’s land management mission. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction) and 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry), reflecting expertise in civil infrastructure and field-based forestry services. She regularly procures construction, vegetation management, wildfire response support, and professional technical services essential to maintaining forest health and public safety across rugged federal lands.
