She manages a diverse portfolio of construction and engineering acquisitions, overseeing the full lifecycle of contracts from solicitation to award and administration. Her work ensures the timely delivery of mission-critical facilities, including commercial and institutional buildings, environmental remediation sites, and civil works projects, directly supporting operational readiness and long-term asset sustainability. Elamenuel maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced contractors, including GRUNLEY CONSTRUCTION CO., INC., GREAT LAKES DREDGE & DOCK CO, LLC, and MATTHEWS GROUP INC, among others. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven expertise in complex federal construction and engineering environments. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, leveraging long-term vendor relationships to ensure quality, compliance, and schedule reliability across high-stakes military infrastructure projects. Her contracting patterns demonstrate a strong commitment to small business participation, with nearly 39% of awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5.
