Her responsibilities include overseeing the full lifecycle of contracts for specialized equipment manufacturing, systems engineering support, and technical training programs that enhance operational readiness and cybersecurity resilience. She ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with the agency’s mission to advance physical and engineering science capabilities. Marriott maintains strategic relationships with a diverse array of contractors specializing in precision measurement devices, systems integration, and technical consulting services.

Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous technical evaluation, and long-term vendor collaboration to ensure sustained systems integrity across DHS operations. Her procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, reflecting a focus on technical capability and mission necessity over socioeconomic preferences. This indicates a deliberate prioritization of domain expertise and proven performance over certification-based contracting mechanisms, aligning with the division’s mandate to secure mission-critical capabilities without compromise. Marriott’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334519, encompassing the acquisition of advanced measuring and controlling devices critical to infrastructure monitoring and security systems. She also regularly procures professional training services (611430), technical consulting (541690), and specialized support services (561990, 541990), demonstrating a strong technical footprint in engineering sciences and operational support domains. Her expertise centers on securing high-reliability instrumentation and expert technical services that directly enable DHS’s mission to safeguard critical systems and national infrastructure.
