She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) while supporting mission-critical technical services across her organization. Her procurement portfolio is predominantly composed of professional services contracts, with a strong emphasis on engineering and geospatial solutions. Merrill works closely with program managers and technical evaluators to develop clear, competitive solicitations that align with agency objectives and statutory procurement guidelines. While specific contractor names are not available, her contracting patterns reflect consistent engagement with firms capable of delivering high-quality engineering and surveying services. She cultivates relationships with a diverse pool of vendors, including both large professional services firms and small business competitors, fostering an environment of fair and open competition. Her approach prioritizes clarity in solicitation language, rigorous source selection, and post-award performance monitoring to ensure contractual compliance and mission success.
