Martineau serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing complex acquisitions in advanced technology systems, with a focus on aerospace, navigation, and wireless communications equipment. She plays a critical role in executing the agency’s procurement mission by ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while delivering mission-critical capabilities to support national security and defense operations.
