Her portfolio primarily encompasses complex procurements for medical equipment, specialized IT services, and professional technical support, requiring deep familiarity with competitive bidding processes, source selection criteria, and post-award contract management. While specific contractor names are not available, Akinbinu maintains consistent working relationships with a broad spectrum of vendors, including small businesses, medical device distributors, and professional services firms.

A minimal but measurable portion—0.5%—is allocated to Women-Owned Small Businesses, indicating targeted inclusion efforts. The majority of her acquisitions (67.6%) remain unrestricted, suggesting a preference for full and open competition when market conditions permit, while still prioritizing small business goals within applicable thresholds.
