Casey maintains a focused partnership with IP.COM I, LLC, and Innovative Transducer Implementation, LLC, both of which provide specialized technological solutions supporting USPTO’s digital transformation initiatives. Her working relationships are characterized by long-term collaboration with vendors offering niche expertise in intellectual property data management, automated document processing, and secure cloud-based infrastructure.

Casey’s contracting activity reflects a 100% preference for full and open competition, with no set-asides designated for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic categories. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her portfolio, all procurements adhere to stringent evaluation criteria focused on technical merit, past performance, and mission alignment. Her primary procurement focus is under NAICS 519190—Other Information Services—which encompasses custom software development, data analytics platforms, and digital content management systems tailored to intellectual property workflows. She specializes in acquiring advanced digital tools that enable automated patent classification, prior art retrieval, and secure trademark database management, reflecting deep domain expertise in the intersection of intellectual property law and enterprise technology.
