Nassar maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including Stronghold SOF Solutions LLC, Gemini Tech Services LLC, Emerald Isle Federal Services, LLC, First Division Consulting Inc., and Curtiss-Wright Electro-Mechanical Corp. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in naval maintenance, electro-mechanical systems, and mission-critical technical support. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, technical expertise, and past performance, often resulting in repeat engagements with contractors who demonstrate deep domain knowledge in naval infrastructure and fleet sustainment.
