Her portfolio centers on modernizing command and control networks, enhancing cybersecurity for maritime data systems, and procuring next-generation communications hardware for expeditionary and fleet-based forces. She manages full lifecycle acquisitions under FAR and DFARS guidelines, with a focus on complex, technically demanding contracts requiring rigorous evaluation of performance, compliance, and interoperability standards. Ms. Ingram maintains a primary working relationship with Lumbee IT Solutions LLC, a trusted vendor delivering IT services and systems integration tailored to naval requirements. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established contractors with proven expertise in defense-grade IT and communications solutions, while also fostering collaborative, performance-based partnerships that emphasize innovation, cybersecurity compliance, and rapid deployment capabilities.

She also regularly procures communications equipment under 334290 and supports port and harbor operations through 488310. Her technical expertise spans secure network design, tactical communications hardware, and cyber-resilient data management systems, positioning her as a key enabler of the Navy’s digital modernization agenda.
