She maintains consistent partnerships with a core group of contractors including Goldbelt Hawk L.L.C., Alex-Alternative Experts, LLC, Tnda Technologies Inc., BC Market Solutions LLC, and Biospace, Inc., each providing specialized expertise in systems engineering, technical consulting, and defense manufacturing. These relationships reflect a preference for vendors with proven experience in naval platforms and secure communications, often engaging firms capable of rapid prototyping, field support, and compliance with DoD cybersecurity standards.
