Woelke’s procurement activity reflects a 100% preference for non-set-aside contracts, indicating a strategic focus on competitive, open procurement rather than socioeconomic set-asides.

Her primary acquisition focus is on NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), encompassing the design, integration, and sustainment of secure telecommunications systems.
