Nevertheless, she actively supports small business participation, allocating 17.6% of her awards to 8(a) certified firms, reflecting a balanced commitment to both market efficiency and socioeconomic goals. Her contracting patterns indicate a deliberate effort to integrate small business capabilities without compromising procurement integrity or mission outcomes.
