She oversees contracts for facility infrastructure upgrades, precision equipment maintenance, and specialized building services critical to delivering high-quality healthcare to veterans. Her portfolio encompasses a mix of construction-related services, technical maintenance, and facility management solutions, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations and VA-specific operational standards. Young maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including Science Applications International Corporation, L1 Enterprises Incorporated, Adelphi Staffing, LLC, Firewatch Contracting of Florida LLC, and Greenbrier Government Solutions Inc. These partnerships reflect a balanced approach to sourcing both large-capacity service providers and specialized niche vendors capable of delivering mission-critical infrastructure and technical support across diverse geographic regions. Her contracting patterns emphasize reliability, technical expertise, and rapid response capabilities for time-sensitive facility upgrades.
