She manages the full lifecycle of professional, scientific, and technical service contracts, with a focus on ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and advancing the agency’s objectives in systems engineering, cybersecurity, and physical sciences research. Her portfolio centers on complex service-based procurements designed to sustain critical infrastructure and enhance technical capabilities across DHS missions. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, Suzanne maintains collaborative relationships with a diverse ecosystem of vendors, including small businesses, emerging technology providers, and specialized service firms engaged in research and technical support. Her procurement approach emphasizes transparent competition, rigorous evaluation of technical proposals, and consistent adherence to performance-based contracting standards. She fosters long-term vendor partnerships grounded in accountability, innovation, and mission alignment. Suzanne demonstrates an unwavering commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 100% of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5.

Her primary procurement focus is aligned with NAICS 713990—All Other Amusement and Recreation Industries—which, in this context, supports specialized technical services related to simulation, training systems, and operational readiness exercises. These acquisitions involve advanced modeling, immersive environments, and engineered solutions that enhance workforce preparedness and mission rehearsal capabilities, demonstrating her expertise in niche technical domains critical to homeland security operations.
