Lawrence serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirement validation and market research to contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) while supporting mission-critical procurement needs within her organization. Her portfolio primarily centers on educational and workforce development services, with a strong emphasis on technical training and vocational support programs.

Tanyka demonstrates a clear preference for open competition, with 85.7% of her acquisitions conducted without set-asides, reflecting a focus on broad market access and value-driven outcomes. However, she actively supports small business participation, with 14.3% of her awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5.
