Her contracting patterns indicate a preference for established vendors with demonstrated expertise in federal facility operations, energy systems, and workforce development, fostering collaborative, long-term vendor partnerships grounded in compliance and performance accountability. Penny’s set-aside preferences reveal a strong but measured commitment to small business participation, with 8.3% of her awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, while the majority—91.7%—are open to all competitors. This balance reflects a strategic approach that prioritizes competition while ensuring meaningful opportunities for small businesses, particularly those capable of delivering specialized technical services aligned with federal building operations.
