She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts for logistical, facility, and mission-enabling services, including hospitality, transportation, security, and administrative support systems. Her work ensures the continuity of force support infrastructure by aligning procurement strategies with Army-wide readiness objectives, employing full and open competition as well as targeted socioeconomic set-asides to meet both operational and regulatory requirements. Jenny maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including Booz Allen Hamilton Inc., Barbaricum LLC, Quiet Professionals, LLC, SOS International LLC, and Second-61 LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established firms with proven capabilities in defense support services, cybersecurity, and operational logistics.

She strategically integrates small business vendors into the acquisition stream, ensuring compliance with FAR Part 19 while maintaining competitive rigor.
