She plays a pivotal role in advancing her agency’s mission by ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while promoting efficiency, transparency, and accountability in all contracting activities.

Razo works closely with program managers, legal counsel, and financial officers to align acquisitions with strategic objectives and regulatory mandates. While specific contractor names are not available, Razo maintains a consistent procurement pattern focused on engaging small business vendors, particularly those certified under the Small Business Administration’s set-aside programs. Her contracting approach emphasizes equitable access and competitive bidding, fostering long-term partnerships with firms capable of delivering specialized imaging services and related support functions. She actively cultivates relationships with small business representatives, participates in outreach events, and ensures solicitations are structured to maximize participation from eligible socioeconomic categories.
