Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of acquisitions for critical mobility services, ensuring strict compliance with FAR regulations and GSA policy.

She fosters transparent, performance-driven partnerships grounded in FAR Part 15 negotiation practices and post-award oversight, ensuring accountability and service quality across contract performance. A staunch advocate for small business inclusion, Iris consistently prioritizes total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, with 96.9% of her acquisitions reserved for small businesses. This reflects a deep institutional commitment to socioeconomic equity and broad-based market participation, with a strong preference for small business concerns including 8(a), HUBZone, and WOSB entities. Her contracting patterns demonstrate a deliberate strategy to expand economic opportunity while maintaining high standards of service delivery. Her procurement focus is exclusively aligned with NAICS 441110 (New Car Dealers), indicating a specialized domain in vehicle-related travel support services—likely encompassing government fleet management, rental vehicle contracts, and associated logistics infrastructure. This unique specialization underscores her technical expertise in mobility procurement, where she ensures compliance with federal vehicle acquisition standards and sustainable transportation objectives.
