Maria demonstrates a strong commitment to full and open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions classified as “No Set-Aside,” reflecting a preference for unrestricted bidding opportunities. This approach underscores her focus on maximizing value through competitive pricing and performance-based outcomes rather than socioeconomic set-asides.
