These partnerships reflect a preference for established, experienced service providers with proven capabilities in base operations, facility maintenance, and environmental remediation. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance metrics, contract compliance, and continuous service improvement, fostering long-term vendor collaboration rather than transactional engagements. Razo-Shepherd’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on leveraging broad market capability to meet complex, high-stakes infrastructure demands across the Indo-Pacific theater, where specialized expertise and rapid scalability are paramount.

Her primary focus is on NAICS 561210 (Facilities Support Services), encompassing a wide range of technical services including grounds maintenance, facility operations, utility system support, and environmental management. She specializes in procuring integrated, performance-based solutions that ensure the reliability and sustainability of military installations, demonstrating deep domain expertise in mission-critical facility sustainment within austere and geographically dispersed operational contexts.
