Swain maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors, including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC for site infrastructure work, DIVERSE PEST MANAGEMENT for environmental compliance services, TECH O. R., LLC for specialized technical support, and KING FREIGHT LLC for logistics and transportation. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven experience in secure, mission-critical environments and a track record of reliability in high-stakes operational settings. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and contractor accountability within constrained operational timelines. Her procurement strategy reflects a balanced commitment to socioeconomic objectives, with equal weighting between open competition and Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. She actively prioritizes small business participation without reliance on 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, demonstrating a preference for broad-based small business engagement across diverse service categories. Swain’s primary technical focus lies in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services) and 517919 (Other Telecommunications Services), reflecting her specialization in infrastructure engineering, geospatial systems integration, and secure communications support for space operations. She routinely procures design, analysis, and technical advisory services essential to modernizing aging facilities and ensuring interoperability with next-generation space launch systems.
