Responsible for managing facility infrastructure contracts, she ensures the operational readiness of critical garrison systems including utilities, life-cycle maintenance, and mission-critical facilities. Her acquisitions focus on construction, systems integration, and technical services essential to sustaining Fort Hood’s barracks, flight lines, and communications infrastructure.

She maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including DTESS JV LLC, TLC SOLUTIONS, INC., GERLING & ASSOCIATES, INC., STERLING COMPUTERS CORPORATION, and GOVERNMENT ACQUISITIONS INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established firms with proven expertise in facility systems, electrical instrumentation, and building services. Polk’s contracting approach emphasizes reliability, technical compliance, and sustained performance, often re-engaging vendors with demonstrated success in complex installation environments. Polk demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with nearly 82% of her awards directed toward small business set-asides—primarily HUBZone (45.5%) and Total Small Business (36.4%) under FAR 19.5. Her procurement strategy actively promotes geographic and economic diversity by prioritizing firms certified in underserved communities, aligning with DoD mandates to enhance small business participation in defense infrastructure projects. Her technical focus centers on NAICS 238910 (Site Preparation) and 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning), each representing 27.3% of her portfolio, alongside specialized procurements in roofing, building equipment, and electrical instrumentation (334515). This reflects deep expertise in integrated facility systems, where she ensures seamless coordination between mechanical, electrical, and structural components to maintain mission-critical infrastructure resilience.
