She maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including GXC MAX INC, FLATTER, INC, and ENPROVERA CORP, all of which provide specialized security services and computer-related technical support. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, with a focus on outcome-driven deliverables and rigorous vendor performance evaluations. These partnerships are characterized by long-term engagement, repeat award cycles, and collaborative requirements development to meet evolving security operational needs. Blackmore’s contracting activity reflects a 100% no set-aside preference, indicating a strategic focus on full and open competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides.

Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), encompassing cybersecurity, surveillance system integration, and data analytics platforms, complemented by NAICS 561612 (Security Guards and Patrol Services) for on-site protective operations. She specializes in acquiring hybrid solutions that merge physical security personnel with digital monitoring systems, demonstrating deep expertise in integrated security infrastructure procurement.
