She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) while advancing agency mission objectives through strategic sourcing. Her portfolio primarily encompasses environmental remediation, consulting services, and specialized warehousing solutions, requiring deep familiarity with technical specifications, performance-based contracting, and risk mitigation protocols. Heather’s work supports mission-critical infrastructure and environmental compliance initiatives, often involving complex, multi-year procurements requiring coordination with technical stakeholders and legal counsel. While specific contractor names are not available, Heather maintains consistent relationships with vendors specializing in environmental services and technical consulting, fostering competitive, transparent procurement processes. Her approach emphasizes fair and open competition while ensuring contractor performance aligns with contractual deliverables and quality standards. She actively engages with small business representatives to clarify solicitation requirements and promote responsiveness, contributing to a robust and diverse vendor base. Heather demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with over 28% of her awards directed toward small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, including a notable focus on Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs). The majority of her acquisitions remain open to all competitors, reflecting a balanced strategy that prioritizes both broad market access and targeted small business participation. Her contracting patterns align with federal goals to expand opportunities for veteran-owned and small businesses without compromising competitive integrity. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 562910 (Remediation Services) and 541620 (Environmental Consulting Services), reflecting expertise in hazardous waste management, site assessment, and environmental compliance support.
