He engages with vendors across multiple sectors, fostering relationships grounded in performance accountability, regulatory compliance, and adaptability to dynamic operational requirements. His procurement strategy demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic objectives, with 50% of acquisitions conducted under full and open competition, while 30% are specifically set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses and 20% reserved for general Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5.
