She handles a diverse portfolio of contracts spanning healthcare support, administrative services, and public sector infrastructure, with a focus on full and open competition as well as targeted small business set-asides.

While specific contractor names are not available, Tova maintains a balanced procurement approach that fosters relationships with both large prime contractors and small business vendors, particularly those certified under socioeconomic programs. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for collaborative, performance-based acquisitions that emphasize quality, compliance, and timely delivery.
