She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurement outcomes with mission-critical operational needs. Her portfolio primarily involves technical and industrial acquisitions, including advanced manufacturing systems, engineering services, and specialized instrumentation, often requiring coordination with technical stakeholders to define performance-based specifications and ensure technical feasibility. Stacy cultivates strategic relationships with a diverse range of vendors, including prime contractors with deep expertise in turbine systems, naval engineering, and aerospace instrumentation, as well as specialized engineering and systems design firms. She consistently engages with industry through pre-solicitation outreach and market surveys to foster competition and innovation, prioritizing vendors with proven technical capability and past performance in highly regulated domains. Her contracting approach emphasizes transparency, fairness, and rigorous source selection under FAR Part 15 procedures. Stacy’s procurement pattern reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted without set-asides.
