Eileen maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including EPERNAY DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION LLC and TEVET LLC, partnering with firms that deliver specialized construction, engineering, and technical support services aligned with military operational needs. Her procurement approach prioritizes vendor reliability, technical capability, and past performance, often engaging contractors with proven expertise in niche defense applications. These relationships reflect a pattern of repeat engagement based on delivery quality and adherence to stringent DoD compliance frameworks. Her contracting strategy reflects a balanced approach to socioeconomic goals, with 40% of her acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a strong commitment to small business participation.
