Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for long-term, performance-based partnerships with firms demonstrating proven technical capability and reliability in delivering mission-essential services under demanding operational conditions. Elkins exhibits a balanced approach to socioeconomic contracting, with approximately half of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, and the other half issued as full and open competitions.

Her primary procurement focus lies in three NAICS categories: 335931 for current-carrying wiring devices, 541712 for physical and engineering research services, and 621210 for dental care services. These reflect a unique blend of infrastructure modernization, technical R&D support, and on-base medical readiness.
