She collaborates closely with contracting officers and technical evaluators to ensure proposals meet stringent performance and regulatory standards, fostering a procurement environment grounded in accountability and merit-based selection. Cerbone demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with approximately one-third of her acquisitions designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate focus on expanding opportunities for small businesses in high-technology and service sectors.
