Her working relationships reflect a balanced approach—favoring competitive, full-and-open opportunities while actively facilitating small business inclusion through structured set-asides. She collaborates closely with acquisition teams and technical stakeholders to ensure contract requirements accurately reflect mission-critical needs and are structured to promote innovation and accountability. Ba’th demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 30% of her acquisitions designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5.
