Kathleen L. Rauch serves in a secondary role within her organization, supporting the agency's procurement mission and acquisition activities. The agency demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with a significant preference for Total Small Business Set-Asides, which account for the vast majority of its contracting activity.

Key areas of expertise include the procurement of conveyor and conveying equipment, as well as commercial and industrial machinery and equipment repair. Additionally, the office manages acquisitions for general automotive repair, asphalt paving mixture and block manufacturing, and the production of search, detection, navigation, guidance, aeronautical, and nautical systems and instruments.
