She specializes in contracting for facility modernization, environmental compliance, and visitor services, with a focus on utilities, structural systems, and equipment essential to park operations. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission of preserving cultural and natural resources through resilient, sustainable infrastructure, ensuring that procurement aligns with federal environmental and accessibility standards. McConnico maintains strategic relationships with contractors such as ROCHE DIAGNOSTICS CORPORATION and AMPLE ELECTRIC INC, indicating a procurement portfolio that spans specialized medical and industrial equipment alongside critical electrical infrastructure. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors capable of delivering technical solutions in niche domains, including medical device components and high-reliability electrical systems. These partnerships suggest a focus on vendors with proven capacity for compliance, quality control, and timely delivery in federally regulated environments. A strong commitment to socioeconomic goals is evident in her contracting patterns, with 80% of awards designated for Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5.

Her primary NAICS focus includes surgical appliance manufacturing, forestry support services, elevator manufacturing, construction sand and gravel mining, and lawn and garden equipment production—indicating a diverse procurement scope that extends beyond traditional park maintenance into specialized industrial and environmental supply chains. This suggests expertise in procuring highly technical, often custom-engineered goods that support both visitor safety and ecological preservation, demonstrating a nuanced understanding of interdisciplinary infrastructure needs.
