Her procurement approach prioritizes reliability, adherence to federal dietary guidelines, and supply chain resilience, fostering partnerships with vendors capable of meeting strict institutional requirements for food safety, storage, and delivery logistics. She collaborates closely with agency nutritionists and facility operations teams to align contract deliverables with inmate welfare standards. Roach demonstrates a pronounced commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 76.6% of her acquisitions designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. She consistently prioritizes small business participation, particularly among businesses certified as small, veteran-owned, or service-disabled veteran-owned, reinforcing the agency’s mandate to promote equitable economic opportunity. Her contracting patterns reflect a deliberate strategy to maximize small business engagement while maintaining compliance with federal procurement integrity standards.
